07:25:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:25:11 Imager is ASCOM
07:25:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:25:11 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@072235 UTC
07:25:11 Imager readout modes:
07:25:11   0 is Fast
07:25:11   1 is Normal
07:25:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:25:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:25:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:25:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
