04:16:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:16:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:16:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:16:26 Dome is MaxDome
04:16:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:16:26 Imager is ASCOM

04:16:26 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@041515 UTC
04:16:26 Imager readout modes:
04:16:26   0 is Fast
04:16:26   1 is Normal
04:16:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:16:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:16:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:16:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:16:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:16:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:16:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:16:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:16:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
