02:09:00 Dome is MaxDome
02:09:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:09:01 Imager is ASCOM
02:09:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:09:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@020744 UTC
02:09:01 Imager readout modes:
02:09:01   0 is Fast
02:09:01   1 is Normal
02:09:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:09:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:09:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:09:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
