07:51:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:51:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:51:03 User actions detected.
07:51:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:51:03 Dome is MaxDome
07:51:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:51:03 Imager is ASCOM
07:51:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:51:03 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240714@075023 UTC
07:51:03 Imager readout modes:
07:51:03   0 is Fast
07:51:03   1 is Normal
07:51:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:51:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:51:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:51:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:51:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:51:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:51:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:51:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:51:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
