04:15:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:15:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:15:23 User actions detected.
04:15:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:15:23 Dome is MaxDome
04:15:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

04:15:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220205@041454 UTC
04:15:23 Imager readout modes:
04:15:23   0 is Fast
04:15:23   1 is Normal
04:15:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:15:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:15:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:15:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:15:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:15:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:15:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:15:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
