07:05:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:05:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:05:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

07:05:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:05:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@070357 UTC
07:05:39 Imager readout modes:
07:05:39   0 is Fast
07:05:39   1 is Normal
07:05:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:05:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:05:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:05:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:05:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:05:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:05:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
