10:43:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:43:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:43:21 User actions detected.
10:43:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:43:21 Dome is MaxDome
10:43:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:43:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:43:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240704@104240 UTC
10:43:21 Imager readout modes:
10:43:21   0 is Fast
10:43:21   1 is Normal
10:43:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:43:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:43:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:43:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:43:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:43:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:43:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
