04:18:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:18:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:18:31 User actions detected.
04:18:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:18:31 Dome is MaxDome
04:18:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

04:18:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:18:31 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230224@041615 UTC
04:18:31 Imager readout modes:
04:18:31   0 is Fast
04:18:31   1 is Normal
04:18:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:18:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:18:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:18:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:18:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
