09:17:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:17:42 User actions detected.
09:17:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:17:42 Dome is MaxDome
09:17:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:17:43 Imager is ASCOM
09:17:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:17:43 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20220416@091552 UTC
09:17:43 Imager readout modes:
09:17:43   0 is Fast
09:17:43   1 is Normal
09:17:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:17:43 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:17:43 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:17:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:17:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:17:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:17:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:17:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
