11:59:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:59:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:59:58 User actions detected.
11:59:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:59:58 Dome is MaxDome
11:59:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

11:59:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:59:58 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@115609 UTC
11:59:58 Imager readout modes:
11:59:58   0 is Fast
11:59:58   1 is Normal
11:59:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:59:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:59:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:59:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:59:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:00:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:00:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:00:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:00:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
