04:32:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:32:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:32:01 Dome is MaxDome
04:32:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

04:32:01 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@042831 UTC
04:32:01 Imager readout modes:
04:32:01   0 is Fast
04:32:01   1 is Normal
04:32:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:32:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:32:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:32:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
