07:23:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:23:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:23:43 User actions detected.
07:23:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

07:23:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:23:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@072233 UTC
07:23:43 Imager readout modes:
07:23:43   0 is Fast
07:23:43   1 is Normal
07:23:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:23:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:23:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:23:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:23:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
