05:02:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
05:02:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:02:13 User actions detected.
05:02:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:02:13 Dome is MaxDome
05:02:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
05:02:13 Imager is QSI Universal
05:02:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:02:13 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210225@050041 UTC
05:02:13 Imager readout modes:
05:02:13   0 is Image Quality
05:02:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:02:13 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:02:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:02:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:02:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
05:02:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
05:02:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:02:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
