05:01:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:01:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:01:40 User actions detected.
05:01:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:01:40 Dome is MaxDome
05:01:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:01:40 Imager is ASCOM
05:01:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:01:40 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220409@050039 UTC
05:01:40 Imager readout modes:
05:01:40   0 is Fast
05:01:40   1 is Normal
05:01:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:01:40 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:01:40 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:01:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:01:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:01:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:01:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:01:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
