06:27:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:27:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:27:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:27:42 Dome is MaxDome
06:27:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:27:43 Imager is ASCOM
06:27:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:27:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@062639 UTC
06:27:43 Imager readout modes:
06:27:43   0 is Fast
06:27:43   1 is Normal
06:27:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:27:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:27:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:27:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:27:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:27:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:27:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:27:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:27:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
