03:54:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:54:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:54:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:54:22 Dome is MaxDome
03:54:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:54:22 Imager is ASCOM
03:54:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:54:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@035055 UTC
03:54:22 Imager readout modes:
03:54:22   0 is Fast
03:54:22   1 is Normal
03:54:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:54:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:54:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:54:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:54:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:54:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:54:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:54:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:54:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
