08:47:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:47:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:47:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:47:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:47:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:47:42 Imager is ASCOM
08:47:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:47:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20231013@084611 UTC
08:47:42 Imager readout modes:
08:47:42   0 is Fast
08:47:42   1 is Normal
08:47:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:47:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:47:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:47:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:47:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:47:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:47:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:47:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
