09:20:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:20:41 Imager is ASCOM
09:20:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:20:41 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250704@092009 UTC
09:20:41 Imager readout modes:
09:20:41   0 is Fast
09:20:41   1 is Normal
09:20:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:20:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:20:41 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:20:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:20:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:20:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:20:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:20:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:20:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
