09:30:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:30:53 Dome is MaxDome
09:30:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:30:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:30:53 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240708@093014 UTC
09:30:53 Imager readout modes:
09:30:53   0 is Fast
09:30:53   1 is Normal
09:30:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:30:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:30:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:30:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:30:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:30:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:30:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:30:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:30:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
