04:16:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:16:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:16:34 User actions detected.
04:16:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:16:34 Dome is MaxDome
04:16:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

04:16:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:16:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220407@041251 UTC
04:16:35 Imager readout modes:
04:16:35   0 is Fast
04:16:35   1 is Normal
04:16:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:16:35 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:16:35 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:16:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:16:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
