13:00:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
13:00:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:00:41 User actions detected.
13:00:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
13:00:41 Dome is MaxDome
13:00:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
13:00:41 Imager is ASCOM
13:00:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:00:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@125923 UTC
13:00:41 Imager readout modes:
13:00:41   0 is Fast
13:00:41   1 is Normal
13:00:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
13:00:41 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
13:00:41 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
13:00:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:00:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
13:00:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
13:00:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:00:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
