07:29:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:29:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:29:40 User actions detected.
07:29:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:29:40 Dome is MaxDome
07:29:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:29:40 Imager is ASCOM
07:29:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:29:40 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@072813 UTC
07:29:40 Imager readout modes:
07:29:40   0 is Fast
07:29:40   1 is Normal
07:29:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:29:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:29:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:29:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:29:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:29:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:29:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:29:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:29:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
