05:41:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:41:24 Dome is MaxDome
05:41:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:41:24 Imager is ASCOM
05:41:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:41:24 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240618@054023 UTC
05:41:24 Imager readout modes:
05:41:24   0 is Fast
05:41:24   1 is Normal
05:41:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:41:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:41:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:41:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:41:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:41:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:41:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
