11:49:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:49:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:49:23 User actions detected.
11:49:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:49:23 Dome is MaxDome
11:49:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

11:49:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:49:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@114548 UTC
11:49:23 Imager readout modes:
11:49:23   0 is Fast
11:49:23   1 is Normal
11:49:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:49:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:49:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:49:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:49:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:49:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:49:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:49:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:49:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
