08:55:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:55:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:55:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

08:55:43 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240222@085435 UTC
08:55:43 Imager readout modes:
08:55:43   0 is Fast
08:55:43   1 is Normal
08:55:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:55:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:55:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:55:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:55:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:55:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
