04:11:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:11:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:11:09 User actions detected.
04:11:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

04:11:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:11:09 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250123@040926 UTC
04:11:09 Imager readout modes:
04:11:09   0 is Fast
04:11:09   1 is Normal
04:11:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:11:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:11:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:11:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:11:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:11:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:11:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:11:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:11:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
