05:28:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:28:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:28:19 Dome is MaxDome
05:28:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:28:20 Imager is ASCOM
05:28:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:28:20 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@052521 UTC
05:28:20 Imager readout modes:
05:28:20   0 is Fast
05:28:20   1 is Normal
05:28:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:28:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:28:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:28:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:28:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:28:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:28:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:28:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:28:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
