02:56:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:56:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

02:56:52 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240223@025413 UTC
02:56:52 Imager readout modes:
02:56:52   0 is Fast
02:56:52   1 is Normal
02:56:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:56:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:56:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:56:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:56:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:56:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
