08:19:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:19:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:19:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

08:19:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:19:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@081826 UTC
08:19:02 Imager readout modes:
08:19:02   0 is Fast
08:19:02   1 is Normal
08:19:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:19:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:19:02 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:19:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:19:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:19:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
