11:39:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:39:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:39:50 User actions detected.
11:39:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:39:50 Dome is MaxDome
11:39:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:39:50 Imager is ASCOM
11:39:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:39:50 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230228@112857 UTC
11:39:50 Imager readout modes:
11:39:50   0 is Fast
11:39:50   1 is Normal
11:39:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:39:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:39:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:39:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:39:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:39:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:39:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
