08:35:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:35:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:35:32 User actions detected.
08:35:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:35:32 Dome is MaxDome
08:35:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:35:32 Imager readout modes:
08:35:32   0 is Fast
08:35:32   1 is Normal
08:35:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:35:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:35:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:35:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:35:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:35:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:35:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:35:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:35:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
