07:14:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:14:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:14:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:14:50 Dome is MaxDome
07:14:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:14:50 Imager is ASCOM

07:14:50 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@071311 UTC
07:14:50 Imager readout modes:
07:14:50   0 is Fast
07:14:50   1 is Normal
