06:34:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:34:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:34:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:34:50 Dome is MaxDome
06:34:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:34:50 Imager is ASCOM
06:34:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:34:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@062853 UTC
06:34:50 Imager readout modes:
06:34:50   0 is Fast
06:34:50   1 is Normal
06:34:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:34:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:34:50 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:34:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:34:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:34:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:34:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:34:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:34:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
