12:32:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:32:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:32:55 Dome is MaxDome
12:32:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:32:56 Imager is ASCOM
12:32:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:32:56 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240224@123041 UTC
12:32:56 Imager readout modes:
12:32:56   0 is Fast
12:32:56   1 is Normal
12:32:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:32:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:32:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:32:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:32:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:32:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:32:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:32:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:32:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
