03:58:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:58:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:58:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:58:52 Dome is MaxDome
03:58:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:58:52 Imager is ASCOM
03:58:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:58:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@035742 UTC
03:58:52 Imager readout modes:
03:58:52   0 is Fast
03:58:52   1 is Normal
03:58:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:58:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:58:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:58:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:58:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:58:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:58:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:58:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
