07:57:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:57:35 Dome is MaxDome
07:57:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:57:35 Imager is ASCOM
07:57:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:57:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240625@075636 UTC
07:57:35 Imager readout modes:
07:57:35   0 is Fast
07:57:35   1 is Normal
07:57:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:57:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:57:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:57:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:57:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:57:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:57:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:57:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:57:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
