07:58:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
07:58:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:58:38 User actions detected.
07:58:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:58:38 Dome is MaxDome
07:58:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
07:58:38 Imager is ASCOM
07:58:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:58:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220316@075508 UTC
07:58:38 Imager readout modes:
07:58:38   0 is Fast
07:58:38   1 is Normal
07:58:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:58:38 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:58:38 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
07:58:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:58:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
07:58:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
