09:26:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:26:37 Imager is ASCOM
09:26:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:26:37 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250114@092418 UTC
09:26:37 Imager readout modes:
09:26:37   0 is Fast
09:26:37   1 is Normal
09:26:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:26:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:26:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:26:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:26:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:26:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:26:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:26:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:26:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
