07:38:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:38:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:38:04 User actions detected.
07:38:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:38:04 Dome is MaxDome
07:38:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:38:04 Imager is ASCOM
07:38:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:38:04 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@073657 UTC
07:38:04 Imager readout modes:
07:38:04   0 is Fast
07:38:04   1 is Normal
07:38:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:38:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:38:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:38:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:38:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:38:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:38:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:38:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:38:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
