08:41:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:41:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:41:48 Dome is MaxDome
08:41:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:41:49 Imager is ASCOM
08:41:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:41:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@083805 UTC
08:41:49 Imager readout modes:
08:41:49   0 is Fast
08:41:49   1 is Normal
08:41:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:41:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:41:49 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:41:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:41:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:41:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:41:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:41:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:41:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
