05:35:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:35:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:35:34 User actions detected.
05:35:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

05:35:35 Imager readout modes:
05:35:35   0 is Fast
05:35:35   1 is Normal
05:35:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:35:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:35:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:35:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:35:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:35:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:35:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:35:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:35:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
