08:22:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:22:12 Dome is MaxDome
08:22:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:22:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:22:12 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@082135 UTC
08:22:12 Imager readout modes:
08:22:12   0 is Fast
08:22:12   1 is Normal
08:22:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:22:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:22:12 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:22:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:22:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:22:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:22:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:22:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:22:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
