04:44:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:44:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:44:13 User actions detected.
04:44:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:44:13 Dome is MaxDome
04:44:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:44:13 Imager is ASCOM
04:44:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:44:13 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220402@044217 UTC
04:44:14 Imager readout modes:
04:44:14   0 is Fast
04:44:14   1 is Normal
04:44:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:44:14 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:44:14 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:44:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:44:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:44:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:44:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:44:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
