05:10:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
05:10:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:10:23 User actions detected.
05:10:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:10:24 Dome is MaxDome
05:10:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
05:10:24 Imager is QSI Universal
05:10:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:10:24 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210223@050852 UTC
05:10:24 Imager readout modes:
05:10:24   0 is Image Quality
05:10:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:10:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:10:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:10:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:10:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
05:10:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
05:10:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:10:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
