07:55:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:55:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:55:36 User actions detected.
07:55:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:55:36 Dome is MaxDome
07:55:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:55:36 Imager is ASCOM
07:55:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:55:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@075344 UTC
07:55:36 Imager readout modes:
07:55:36   0 is Fast
07:55:36   1 is Normal
07:55:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:55:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:55:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:55:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:55:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:55:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:55:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:55:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:55:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
