02:15:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:15:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:15:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:15:56 Dome is MaxDome
02:15:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:15:56 Imager is ASCOM
02:15:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:15:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250224@021521 UTC
02:15:56 Imager readout modes:
02:15:56   0 is Fast
02:15:56   1 is Normal
02:15:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:15:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:15:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:15:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:15:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:16:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:16:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:16:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:16:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
