03:40:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:40:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:40:22 Dome is MaxDome
03:40:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:40:23 Imager is ASCOM

03:40:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@033957 UTC
03:40:23 Imager readout modes:
03:40:23   0 is Fast
03:40:23   1 is Normal
03:40:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:40:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:40:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:40:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:40:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:40:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:40:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:40:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
