10:25:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:25:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:25:32 User actions detected.
10:25:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:25:32 Dome is MaxDome
10:25:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:25:32 Imager is ASCOM
10:25:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:25:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230305@101015 UTC
10:25:32 Imager readout modes:
10:25:32   0 is Fast
10:25:32   1 is Normal
10:25:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:25:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:25:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:25:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:25:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:25:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:25:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:25:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
