09:18:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:18:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:18:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

09:18:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:18:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@091807 UTC
09:18:49 Imager readout modes:
09:18:49   0 is Fast
09:18:49   1 is Normal
09:18:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:18:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:18:49 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:18:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:18:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:18:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:18:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:18:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:18:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
