05:14:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:14:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:14:28 User actions detected.
05:14:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

05:14:28 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@051353 UTC
05:14:28 Imager readout modes:
05:14:28   0 is Fast
05:14:28   1 is Normal
05:14:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:14:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:14:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:14:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
