05:33:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:33:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:33:33 Dome is MaxDome
05:33:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:33:33 Imager is ASCOM
05:33:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:33:33 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@053218 UTC
05:33:33 Imager readout modes:
05:33:33   0 is Fast
05:33:33   1 is Normal
05:33:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:33:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:33:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:33:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:33:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:33:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
