05:23:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:23:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:23:25 User actions detected.
05:23:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

05:23:25 Imager readout modes:
05:23:25   0 is Fast
05:23:25   1 is Normal
05:23:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:23:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:23:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:23:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:23:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:23:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:23:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:23:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:23:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
