04:48:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:48:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:48:51 User actions detected.
04:48:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:48:51 Dome is MaxDome
04:48:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:48:51 Imager is ASCOM
04:48:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:48:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@044213 UTC
04:48:51 Imager readout modes:
04:48:51   0 is Fast
04:48:51   1 is Normal
04:48:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:48:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:48:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:48:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:48:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:48:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:48:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:48:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:48:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
