05:13:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:13:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:13:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:13:00 Dome is MaxDome
05:13:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:13:00 Imager is ASCOM
05:13:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:13:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@051221 UTC
05:13:00 Imager readout modes:
05:13:00   0 is Fast
05:13:00   1 is Normal
05:13:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:13:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:13:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:13:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:13:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:13:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:13:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
