04:24:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:24:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:24:29 User actions detected.
04:24:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:24:29 Dome is MaxDome
04:24:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:24:29 Imager is ASCOM
04:24:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:24:29 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20211214@042406 UTC
04:24:30 Imager readout modes:
04:24:30   0 is Fast
04:24:30   1 is Normal
04:24:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:24:30 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:24:30 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:24:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:24:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:24:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
