10:41:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:41:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:41:31 User actions detected.
10:41:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:41:31 Dome is MaxDome
10:41:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:41:31 Imager is ASCOM
10:41:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:41:31 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20221222@104106 UTC
10:41:31 Imager readout modes:
10:41:31   0 is Fast
10:41:31   1 is Normal
10:41:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:41:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:41:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:41:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:41:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:41:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:41:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:41:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:41:31 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
10:41:31 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
