08:55:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:55:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:55:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:55:14 Dome is MaxDome
08:55:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:55:14 Imager is ASCOM

08:55:14 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250610@085432 UTC
08:55:14 Imager readout modes:
08:55:14   0 is Fast
08:55:14   1 is Normal
08:55:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:55:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:55:14 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:55:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:55:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:55:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:55:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:55:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
