10:29:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:29:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:29:47 User actions detected.
10:29:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:29:47 Dome is MaxDome
10:29:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:29:48 Imager is ASCOM
10:29:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:29:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240710@102850 UTC
10:29:48 Imager readout modes:
10:29:48   0 is Fast
10:29:48   1 is Normal
10:29:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:29:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:29:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:29:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:29:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:29:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:29:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:29:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:29:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
