11:51:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:51:48 Imager is ASCOM
11:51:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:51:48 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240224@114948 UTC
11:51:48 Imager readout modes:
11:51:48   0 is Fast
11:51:48   1 is Normal

11:51:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:51:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:51:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
