10:40:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:40:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:40:57 User actions detected.
10:40:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:40:57 Dome is MaxDome
10:40:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:40:58 Imager is ASCOM
10:40:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:40:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240711@103726 UTC
10:40:58 Imager readout modes:
10:40:58   0 is Fast
10:40:58   1 is Normal
10:40:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:40:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:40:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:40:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:40:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:40:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:40:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:40:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:40:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
