05:25:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:25:35 User actions detected.
05:25:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:25:35 Dome is MaxDome
05:25:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:25:36 Imager is ASCOM
05:25:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:25:36 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220416@052047 UTC
05:25:36 Imager readout modes:
05:25:36   0 is Fast
05:25:36   1 is Normal
05:25:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:25:36 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:25:36 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:25:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:25:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:25:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:25:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:25:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
