06:15:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:15:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:15:22 User actions detected.
06:15:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

06:15:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:15:22 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250114@061339 UTC
06:15:22 Imager readout modes:
06:15:22   0 is Fast
06:15:22   1 is Normal
06:15:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:15:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:15:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:15:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:15:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:15:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:15:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:15:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:15:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
