10:49:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
10:49:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:49:33 User actions detected.
10:49:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:49:33 Dome is MaxDome
10:49:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:49:33 Imager is ASCOM
10:49:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:49:33 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20220205@104900 UTC
10:49:33 Imager readout modes:
10:49:33   0 is Fast
10:49:33   1 is Normal
10:49:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:49:34 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:49:34 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:49:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:49:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:49:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
