07:37:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:37:59 Dome is MaxDome
07:37:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:37:59 Imager is ASCOM
07:37:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:37:59 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240712@052445 UTC
07:37:59 Imager readout modes:
07:37:59   0 is Fast
07:37:59   1 is Normal
07:37:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:37:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:37:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:37:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:37:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:37:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:37:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:37:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:37:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
