12:44:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:44:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:44:42 User actions detected.
12:44:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:44:42 Dome is MaxDome
12:44:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

12:44:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:44:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210209@124101 UTC
12:44:43 Imager readout modes:
12:44:43   0 is Image Quality
12:44:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:44:43 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:44:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:44:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:44:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:44:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:44:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:44:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
