03:07:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:07:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:07:59 Dome is MaxDome
03:07:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:07:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:07:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:07:59 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240118@030637 UTC
03:07:59 Imager readout modes:
03:07:59   0 is Fast
03:07:59   1 is Normal
03:07:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:07:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:07:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:07:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:07:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:07:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
