11:36:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:36:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:36:11 Dome is MaxDome
11:36:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

11:36:11 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240219@113202 UTC
11:36:11 Imager readout modes:
11:36:11   0 is Fast
11:36:11   1 is Normal
11:36:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:36:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:36:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:36:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:36:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:36:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:36:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
