03:08:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:08:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:08:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:08:26 Dome is MaxDome
03:08:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:08:27 Imager is ASCOM

03:08:27 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@030620 UTC
03:08:27 Imager readout modes:
03:08:27   0 is Fast
03:08:27   1 is Normal
03:08:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:08:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:08:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:08:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:08:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:08:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
