02:44:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:44:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:44:15 Dome is MaxDome
02:44:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:44:15 Imager is ASCOM
02:44:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:44:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@024123 UTC
02:44:15 Imager readout modes:
02:44:15   0 is Fast
02:44:15   1 is Normal
02:44:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:44:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:44:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:44:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:44:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:44:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:44:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:44:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:44:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
