09:56:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:56:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:56:51 User actions detected.
09:56:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:56:51 Dome is MaxDome
09:56:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:56:51 Imager is ASCOM
09:56:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:56:51 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240714@095632 UTC
09:56:51 Imager readout modes:
09:56:51   0 is Fast
09:56:51   1 is Normal
09:56:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:56:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:56:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:56:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:56:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:56:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:56:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
