12:42:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:42:34 User actions detected.
12:42:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:42:34 Dome is MaxDome
12:42:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:42:34 Imager is ASCOM
12:42:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:42:34 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230224@123332 UTC
12:42:34 Imager readout modes:
12:42:34   0 is Fast
12:42:34   1 is Normal
12:42:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:42:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:42:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:42:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:42:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:42:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:42:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:42:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
