07:47:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:47:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:47:51 User actions detected.
07:47:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:47:51 Dome is MaxDome
07:47:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

07:47:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:47:51 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250114@074627 UTC
07:47:51 Imager readout modes:
07:47:51   0 is Fast
07:47:51   1 is Normal
07:47:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:47:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:47:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:47:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:47:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:47:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:47:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:47:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:47:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
