10:03:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:03:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:03:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:03:42 Dome is MaxDome
10:03:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:03:43 Imager is ASCOM
10:03:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:03:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240507@093727 UTC
10:03:43 Imager readout modes:
10:03:43   0 is Fast
10:03:43   1 is Normal
10:03:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:03:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:03:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:03:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
