10:57:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:57:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:57:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:57:08 Dome is MaxDome
10:57:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:57:08 Imager is ASCOM
10:57:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:57:08 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@105633 UTC
10:57:08 Imager readout modes:
10:57:08   0 is Fast
10:57:08   1 is Normal
10:57:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:57:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:57:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:57:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:57:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:57:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:57:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:57:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:57:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
