10:51:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:51:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:51:32 User actions detected.
10:51:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:51:32 Dome is MaxDome
10:51:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

10:51:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:51:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@101835 UTC
10:51:32 Imager readout modes:
10:51:32   0 is Fast
10:51:32   1 is Normal
10:51:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:51:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:51:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:51:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:51:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
