10:07:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:07:28 Dome is MaxDome
10:07:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:07:28 Imager readout modes:
10:07:28   0 is Fast
10:07:28   1 is Normal
10:07:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:07:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:07:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:07:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:07:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:07:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:07:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:07:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:07:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
