09:07:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:07:57 Imager is ASCOM
09:07:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:07:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250524@085725 UTC
09:07:57 Imager readout modes:
09:07:57   0 is Fast
09:07:57   1 is Normal
09:07:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:07:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:07:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:07:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:07:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:08:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
