10:04:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:04:32 User actions detected.
10:04:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:04:32 Dome is MaxDome
10:04:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:04:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:04:32 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@100240 UTC
10:04:32 Imager readout modes:
10:04:32   0 is Fast
10:04:32   1 is Normal
10:04:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:04:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:04:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:04:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:04:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:04:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:04:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:04:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:04:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
