06:11:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:11:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:11:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:11:00 Dome is MaxDome
06:11:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:11:01 Imager is ASCOM
06:11:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:11:01 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@060942 UTC
06:11:01 Imager readout modes:
06:11:01   0 is Fast
06:11:01   1 is Normal
06:11:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:11:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:11:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:11:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:11:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:11:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:11:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:11:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:11:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
