06:57:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:57:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:57:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

06:57:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:57:57 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@065715 UTC
06:57:57 Imager readout modes:
06:57:57   0 is Fast
06:57:57   1 is Normal
06:57:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:57:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:57:57 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:57:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:57:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:58:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:58:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
