10:50:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:50:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:50:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:50:00 Dome is MaxDome
10:50:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:50:00 Imager is ASCOM
10:50:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:50:00 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@104701 UTC
10:50:00 Imager readout modes:
10:50:00   0 is Fast
10:50:00   1 is Normal
10:50:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:50:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:50:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:50:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:50:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:50:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:50:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:50:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:50:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
