06:03:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
06:03:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:03:22 User actions detected.
06:03:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:03:22 Dome is MaxDome
06:03:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
06:03:22 Imager is ASCOM
06:03:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:03:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220515@060250 UTC
06:03:22 Imager readout modes:
06:03:22   0 is Fast
06:03:22   1 is Normal
06:03:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:03:22 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
06:03:22 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
06:03:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:03:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
06:03:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
06:03:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:03:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
