10:34:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
10:34:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:34:30 User actions detected.
10:34:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:34:31 Dome is MaxDome
10:34:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:34:31 Imager is ASCOM
10:34:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:34:31 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220316@103245 UTC
10:34:31 Imager readout modes:
10:34:31   0 is Fast
10:34:31   1 is Normal
10:34:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:34:31 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:34:31 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:34:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:34:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:34:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0

10:34:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:34:36 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
10:34:36   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan PV_Cep)
