03:09:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:09:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:09:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:09:27 Dome is MaxDome
03:09:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:09:27 Imager is ASCOM
03:09:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:09:27 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@030851 UTC
03:09:27 Imager readout modes:
03:09:27   0 is Fast
03:09:27   1 is Normal
03:09:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:09:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:09:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:09:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:09:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:09:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:09:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:09:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:09:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
