11:21:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:21:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:21:21 Dome is MaxDome
11:21:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:21:21 Imager is ASCOM
11:21:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:21:21 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240224@111912 UTC
11:21:21 Imager readout modes:
11:21:21   0 is Fast
11:21:21   1 is Normal

11:21:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:21:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:21:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
