08:40:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:40:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:40:40 User actions detected.
08:40:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:40:40 Dome is MaxDome
08:40:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

08:40:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:40:41 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240710@083936 UTC
08:40:41 Imager readout modes:
08:40:41   0 is Fast
08:40:41   1 is Normal
08:40:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:40:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:40:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:40:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:40:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:40:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:40:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
