04:43:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:43:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:43:42 User actions detected.
04:43:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:43:42 Dome is MaxDome
04:43:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.26

04:43:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:43:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220409@044149 UTC
04:43:42 Imager readout modes:
04:43:42   0 is Fast
04:43:42   1 is Normal
04:43:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:43:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:43:42 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:43:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:43:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:43:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:43:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:43:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
