05:33:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:33:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:33:57 User actions detected.
05:33:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:33:57 Dome is MaxDome
05:33:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:33:58 Imager is ASCOM
05:33:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:33:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220514@052619 UTC
05:33:58 Imager readout modes:
05:33:58   0 is Fast
05:33:58   1 is Normal
05:33:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:33:58 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:33:58 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:33:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:34:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:34:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:34:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:34:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
