05:05:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:05:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:05:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:05:27 Dome is MaxDome
05:05:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:05:27 Imager is ASCOM
05:05:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:05:27 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240223@050420 UTC
05:05:27 Imager readout modes:
05:05:27   0 is Fast
05:05:27   1 is Normal
05:05:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:05:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:05:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:05:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:05:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:05:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:05:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:05:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:05:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
