02:59:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:59:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:59:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:59:23 Dome is MaxDome
02:59:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:59:23 Imager is ASCOM
02:59:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:59:23 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240412@025808 UTC
02:59:23 Imager readout modes:
02:59:23   0 is Fast
02:59:23   1 is Normal
02:59:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:59:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:59:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:59:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:59:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:59:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:59:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:59:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:59:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
