03:03:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
03:03:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:03:54 User actions detected.
03:03:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:03:55 Dome is MaxDome
03:03:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
03:03:55 Imager is QSI Universal
03:03:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:03:55 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20210208@030240 UTC
03:03:55 Imager readout modes:
03:03:55   0 is Image Quality

03:03:55 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:03:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:03:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:04:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
