05:40:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:40:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:40:29 User actions detected.
05:40:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:40:29 Dome is MaxDome
05:40:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:40:30 Imager is ASCOM
05:40:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:40:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220325@053717 UTC
05:40:30 Imager readout modes:
05:40:30   0 is Fast
05:40:30   1 is Normal
05:40:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:40:30 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:40:30 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:40:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:40:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:40:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:40:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:40:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
