05:03:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:03:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:03:46 User actions detected.
05:03:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:03:46 Dome is MaxDome
05:03:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:03:46 Imager is ASCOM
05:03:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:03:46 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230207@045849 UTC
05:03:46 Imager readout modes:
05:03:46   0 is Fast
05:03:46   1 is Normal
05:03:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:03:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:03:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:03:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:03:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:03:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:03:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:03:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
