02:30:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:30:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:30:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:30:00 Dome is MaxDome
02:30:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:30:00 Imager is ASCOM
02:30:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:30:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240118@022843 UTC
02:30:00 Imager readout modes:
02:30:00   0 is Fast
02:30:00   1 is Normal
02:30:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:30:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:30:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:30:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:30:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:30:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
