05:43:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:43:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:43:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:43:02 Dome is MaxDome
05:43:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:43:02 Imager is ASCOM
05:43:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:43:02 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@054149 UTC
05:43:02 Imager readout modes:
05:43:02   0 is Fast
05:43:02   1 is Normal
05:43:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:43:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:43:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:43:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:43:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:43:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:43:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:43:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:43:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
