07:58:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:58:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:58:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:58:46 Dome is MaxDome
07:58:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:58:46 Imager is ASCOM
07:58:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:58:46 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20231013@075410 UTC
07:58:46 Imager readout modes:
07:58:46   0 is Fast
07:58:46   1 is Normal
07:58:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:58:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:58:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:58:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:58:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:58:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:58:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:58:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
