03:42:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:42:23 Imager is ASCOM
03:42:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:42:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250604@034147 UTC
03:42:23 Imager readout modes:
03:42:23   0 is Fast
03:42:23   1 is Normal
03:42:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:42:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:42:23 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:42:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:42:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:42:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:42:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
