08:36:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:36:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:36:10 User actions detected.
08:36:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

08:36:10 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@083001 UTC
08:36:10 Imager readout modes:
08:36:10   0 is Fast
08:36:10   1 is Normal
08:36:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:36:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:36:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:36:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:36:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:36:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:36:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
