05:57:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:57:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:57:12 User actions detected.
05:57:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:57:12 Dome is MaxDome
05:57:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

05:57:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:57:12 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220325@054310 UTC
05:57:12 Imager readout modes:
05:57:12   0 is Fast
05:57:12   1 is Normal
05:57:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:57:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:57:12 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:57:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:57:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:57:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:57:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:57:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
