08:50:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:50:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:50:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:50:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:50:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:50:43 Imager is ASCOM
08:50:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:50:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@085001 UTC
08:50:43 Imager readout modes:
08:50:43   0 is Fast
08:50:43   1 is Normal
08:50:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:50:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:50:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:50:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:50:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:50:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:50:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:50:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:50:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
