10:27:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:27:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:27:01 User actions detected.

10:27:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:27:01 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240618@102457 UTC
10:27:01 Imager readout modes:
10:27:01   0 is Fast

10:27:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
