11:03:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:03:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:03:25 User actions detected.
11:03:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:03:25 Dome is MaxDome
11:03:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:03:26 Imager is ASCOM
11:03:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:03:26 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250115@104221 UTC
11:03:26 Imager readout modes:
11:03:26   0 is Fast
11:03:26   1 is Normal
11:03:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:03:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:03:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:03:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:03:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:03:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:03:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:03:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:03:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
