07:40:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:40:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:40:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:40:16 Dome is MaxDome
07:40:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:40:16 Imager is ASCOM
07:40:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:40:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@073935 UTC
07:40:16 Imager readout modes:
07:40:16   0 is Fast
07:40:16   1 is Normal
07:40:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:40:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:40:16 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:40:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:40:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:40:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:40:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:40:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:40:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
