10:22:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
10:22:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:22:22 User actions detected.
10:22:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:22:22 Dome is MaxDome
10:22:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
10:22:22 Imager is ASCOM
10:22:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:22:22 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20220425@102151 UTC
10:22:22 Imager readout modes:
10:22:22   0 is Fast
10:22:22   1 is Normal
10:22:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:22:23 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:22:23 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
10:22:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:22:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
10:22:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
10:22:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:22:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
