07:28:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:28:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:28:15 Dome is MaxDome
07:28:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:28:15 Imager is ASCOM
07:28:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:28:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@072240 UTC
07:28:15 Imager readout modes:
07:28:15   0 is Fast
07:28:15   1 is Normal
07:28:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:28:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:28:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:28:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:28:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:28:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
