05:04:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:04:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:04:20 User actions detected.
05:04:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:04:20 Dome is MaxDome
05:04:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:04:20 Imager is ASCOM
05:04:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:04:20 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220408@050319 UTC
05:04:20 Imager readout modes:
05:04:20   0 is Fast
05:04:20   1 is Normal
05:04:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:04:20 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:04:20 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:04:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:04:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:04:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
