09:22:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:22:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:22:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:22:25 Dome is MaxDome
09:22:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:22:25 Imager is ASCOM
09:22:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:22:25 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250605@092204 UTC
09:22:25 Imager readout modes:
09:22:25   0 is Fast
09:22:25   1 is Normal
09:22:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:22:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:22:25 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:22:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:22:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:22:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:22:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:22:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:22:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
