09:47:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:47:27 Dome is MaxDome
09:47:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:47:28 Imager is ASCOM
09:47:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:47:28 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240704@094546 UTC
09:47:28 Imager readout modes:
09:47:28   0 is Fast
09:47:28   1 is Normal
09:47:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:47:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:47:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:47:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:47:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:47:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:47:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
