05:48:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:48:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:48:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

05:48:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@054356 UTC
05:48:25 Imager readout modes:
05:48:25   0 is Fast
05:48:25   1 is Normal
05:48:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:48:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:48:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:48:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:48:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:48:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:48:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:48:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:48:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
