07:41:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:41:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:41:52 User actions detected.
07:41:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:41:52 Dome is MaxDome
07:41:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:41:52 Imager is ASCOM
07:41:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:41:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240704@074040 UTC
07:41:52 Imager readout modes:
07:41:52   0 is Fast
07:41:52   1 is Normal
07:41:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:41:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:41:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:41:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:41:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:41:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:41:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:41:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:41:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
