12:37:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:37:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:37:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:37:49 Dome is MaxDome
12:37:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:37:49 Imager is ASCOM
12:37:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:37:49 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@123730 UTC
12:37:49 Imager readout modes:
12:37:49   0 is Fast
12:37:49   1 is Normal
12:37:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:37:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:37:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:37:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:37:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:37:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:37:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:37:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:37:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
