12:26:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:26:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:26:29 User actions detected.
12:26:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:26:29 Dome is MaxDome
12:26:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:26:30 Imager is ASCOM
12:26:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:26:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250115@122155 UTC
12:26:30 Imager readout modes:
12:26:30   0 is Fast
12:26:30   1 is Normal
12:26:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:26:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:26:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:26:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:26:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:26:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:26:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:26:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:26:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
