03:09:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:09:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:09:04 User actions detected.
03:09:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:09:05 Dome is MaxDome
03:09:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

03:09:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:09:05 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250124@030736 UTC
03:09:05 Imager readout modes:
03:09:05   0 is Fast
03:09:05   1 is Normal
03:09:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:09:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:09:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:09:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:09:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:09:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:09:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:09:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:09:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
