07:09:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:09:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:09:52 User actions detected.
07:09:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:09:52 Dome is MaxDome
07:09:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:09:52 Imager is ASCOM
07:09:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:09:52 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@070806 UTC
07:09:52 Imager readout modes:
07:09:52   0 is Fast
07:09:52   1 is Normal
07:09:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:09:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:09:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:09:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:09:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
