08:23:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:23:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:23:39 User actions detected.
08:23:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

08:23:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:23:39 Imager is ASCOM
08:23:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:23:39 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250114@081737 UTC
08:23:39 Imager readout modes:
08:23:39   0 is Fast
08:23:39   1 is Normal
08:23:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:23:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:23:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:23:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:23:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:23:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:23:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:23:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
