12:08:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:08:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:08:21 User actions detected.
12:08:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:08:21 Dome is MaxDome
12:08:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:08:21 Imager is ASCOM
12:08:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:08:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230228@120436 UTC
12:08:21 Imager readout modes:
12:08:21   0 is Fast
12:08:21   1 is Normal
12:08:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:08:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:08:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:08:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:08:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:08:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:08:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:08:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
