03:36:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:36:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:36:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:36:25 Dome is MaxDome
03:36:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:36:25 Imager is ASCOM
03:36:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:36:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240119@033512 UTC
03:36:25 Imager readout modes:
03:36:25   0 is Fast
03:36:25   1 is Normal
03:36:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:36:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:36:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:36:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:36:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:36:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:36:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:36:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:36:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
