09:25:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:25:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:25:47 User actions detected.
09:25:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:25:47 Dome is MaxDome
09:25:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:25:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:25:47 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240726@092510 UTC
09:25:47 Imager readout modes:
09:25:47   0 is Fast
09:25:47   1 is Normal
09:25:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:25:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:25:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:25:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:25:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:25:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:25:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:25:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:25:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
