04:33:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:33:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:33:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:33:45 Dome is MaxDome
04:33:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:33:45 Imager is ASCOM

04:33:45 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240222@043152 UTC
04:33:45 Imager readout modes:
04:33:45   0 is Fast
04:33:45   1 is Normal
04:33:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:33:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:33:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:33:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:33:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:33:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:33:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:33:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
