03:58:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:58:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:58:22 User actions detected.
03:58:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:58:23 Dome is MaxDome
03:58:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:58:23 Imager is ASCOM
03:58:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:58:23 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250206@035804 UTC
03:58:23 Imager readout modes:
03:58:23   0 is Fast
03:58:23   1 is Normal
03:58:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:58:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:58:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:58:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:58:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:58:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:58:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
