12:17:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:17:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:17:23 User actions detected.
12:17:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:17:23 Dome is MaxDome
12:17:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

12:17:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:17:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@121528 UTC
12:17:23 Imager readout modes:
12:17:23   0 is Fast
12:17:23   1 is Normal
12:17:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:17:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:17:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:17:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:17:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:17:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:17:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:17:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:17:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
