04:24:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:24:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:24:06 User actions detected.
04:24:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:24:06 Dome is MaxDome
04:24:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:24:06 Imager is ASCOM
04:24:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:24:06 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220515@042306 UTC
04:24:06 Imager readout modes:
04:24:06   0 is Fast
04:24:06   1 is Normal
04:24:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:24:07 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:24:07 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:24:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:24:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:24:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:24:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:24:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
