04:00:44 Dome is MaxDome
04:00:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:00:44 Imager is ASCOM
04:00:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:00:44 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240224@035723 UTC
04:00:44 Imager readout modes:
04:00:44   0 is Fast
04:00:44   1 is Normal
04:00:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:00:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:00:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:00:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:00:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:00:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
