04:19:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
04:19:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:19:44 User actions detected.
04:19:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:19:44 Dome is MaxDome
04:19:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

04:19:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:19:44 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20210626@041552 UTC
04:19:44 Imager readout modes:
04:19:44   0 is Fast
04:19:44   1 is Normal
04:19:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:19:44 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:19:44 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:19:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:19:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:19:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:19:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:19:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:19:50 ACPS Observation NGC_6402(1 of 1)
