04:53:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:53:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:53:41 User actions detected.
04:53:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:53:41 Dome is MaxDome
04:53:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

04:53:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:53:41 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@045156 UTC
04:53:41 Imager readout modes:
04:53:41   0 is Fast
04:53:41   1 is Normal
04:53:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:53:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:53:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:53:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:53:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:53:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:53:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
