07:26:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:26:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:26:07 User actions detected.
07:26:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:26:07 Dome is MaxDome
07:26:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:26:07 Imager is ASCOM
07:26:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:26:07 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@072311 UTC
07:26:07 Imager readout modes:
07:26:07   0 is Fast
07:26:07   1 is Normal
07:26:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:26:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:26:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:26:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:26:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:26:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:26:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:26:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:26:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
