03:48:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:48:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:48:31 User actions detected.
03:48:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

03:48:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:48:31 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@034512 UTC
03:48:31 Imager readout modes:
03:48:31   0 is Fast
03:48:31   1 is Normal
03:48:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:48:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:48:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:48:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:48:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:48:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:48:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:48:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:48:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
