06:15:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:15:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:15:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:15:31 Dome is MaxDome
06:15:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:15:31 Imager is ASCOM
06:15:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:15:31 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240213@061512 UTC
06:15:31 Imager readout modes:
06:15:31   0 is Fast
06:15:31   1 is Normal
06:15:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:15:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:15:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:15:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:15:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:15:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:15:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:15:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:15:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
