05:06:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:06:44 Imager is ASCOM
05:06:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:06:44 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@050450 UTC
05:06:44 Imager readout modes:
05:06:44   0 is Fast
05:06:44   1 is Normal
05:06:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:06:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:06:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:06:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:06:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:06:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:06:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:06:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:06:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
