03:29:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:29:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:29:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:29:08 Dome is MaxDome
03:29:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:29:08 Imager is ASCOM
03:29:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:29:08 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250527@032824 UTC
03:29:08 Imager readout modes:
03:29:08   0 is Fast
03:29:08   1 is Normal
03:29:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:29:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:29:08 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:29:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:29:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:29:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
