04:33:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:33:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:33:11 User actions detected.
04:33:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:33:11 Dome is MaxDome
04:33:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:33:12 Imager is ASCOM
04:33:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:33:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@042824 UTC
04:33:12 Imager readout modes:
04:33:12   0 is Fast
04:33:12   1 is Normal
04:33:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:33:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:33:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:33:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:33:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:33:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:33:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:33:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:33:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
