12:28:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:28:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:29:00 Dome is MaxDome
12:29:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:29:00 Imager is ASCOM

12:29:00 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240215@122634 UTC
12:29:00 Imager readout modes:
12:29:00   0 is Fast
12:29:00   1 is Normal
12:29:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:29:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:29:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:29:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:29:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:29:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
