07:26:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:26:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:26:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

07:26:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:26:27 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240222@072556 UTC
07:26:27 Imager readout modes:
07:26:27   0 is Fast
07:26:27   1 is Normal
07:26:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:26:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:26:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:26:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:26:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:26:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
