05:41:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:41:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:41:43 Dome is MaxDome
05:41:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

05:41:43 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20250605@053535 UTC
05:41:43 Imager readout modes:
05:41:43   0 is Fast
05:41:43   1 is Normal
05:41:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:41:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:41:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:41:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:41:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:41:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:41:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:41:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:41:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
