11:25:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:25:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:25:03 Dome is MaxDome
11:25:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:25:03 Imager is ASCOM
11:25:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:25:03 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@112444 UTC
11:25:03 Imager readout modes:
11:25:03   0 is Fast
11:25:03   1 is Normal
11:25:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:25:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:25:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:25:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:25:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:25:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:25:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
