08:28:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:28:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:28:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

08:28:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:28:00 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@082719 UTC
08:28:00 Imager readout modes:
08:28:00   0 is Fast
08:28:00   1 is Normal
08:28:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:28:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:28:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:28:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:28:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:28:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:28:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
