07:04:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:04:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:04:20 User actions detected.
07:04:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:04:20 Dome is MaxDome
07:04:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:04:20 Imager is ASCOM
07:04:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:04:21 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@070315 UTC
07:04:21 Imager readout modes:
07:04:21   0 is Fast
07:04:21   1 is Normal
07:04:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:04:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:04:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:04:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:04:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:04:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:04:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:04:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:04:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
