07:42:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:42:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:42:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:42:59 Dome is MaxDome
07:42:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:42:59 Imager is ASCOM
07:42:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:42:59 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20240412@073809 UTC
07:42:59 Imager readout modes:
07:42:59   0 is Fast
07:42:59   1 is Normal
07:42:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:42:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:42:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:42:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:42:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:42:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:42:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:42:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:42:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
