11:21:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:21:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:21:36 User actions detected.
11:21:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

11:21:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:21:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250207@111948 UTC
11:21:36 Imager readout modes:
11:21:36   0 is Fast
11:21:36   1 is Normal
11:21:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:21:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:21:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:21:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:21:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:21:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:21:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:21:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:21:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
