03:32:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:32:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:32:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:32:21 Dome is MaxDome
03:32:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:32:21 Imager is ASCOM
03:32:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:32:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@033116 UTC
03:32:21 Imager readout modes:
03:32:21   0 is Fast
03:32:21   1 is Normal
03:32:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:32:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:32:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:32:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
