05:57:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:57:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:57:47 Dome is MaxDome
05:57:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:57:47 Imager is ASCOM
05:57:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:57:47 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240213@055518 UTC
05:57:47 Imager readout modes:
05:57:47   0 is Fast
05:57:47   1 is Normal
05:57:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:57:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:57:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:57:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:57:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:57:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:57:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:57:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:57:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
