04:41:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:41:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:41:54 User actions detected.
04:41:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

04:41:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:41:54 Imager is ASCOM
04:41:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:41:54 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@043912 UTC
04:41:54 Imager readout modes:
04:41:54   0 is Fast
04:41:54   1 is Normal
04:41:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:41:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:41:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:41:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:41:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:42:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:42:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:42:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:42:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
