09:04:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:04:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:04:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:04:50 Dome is MaxDome
09:04:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:04:50 Imager is ASCOM
09:04:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:04:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@090429 UTC
09:04:50 Imager readout modes:
09:04:50   0 is Fast
09:04:50   1 is Normal
09:04:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:04:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:04:50 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:04:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:04:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:04:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:04:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:04:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:04:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
