05:49:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:49:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:49:56 User actions detected.
05:49:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:49:56 Dome is MaxDome
05:49:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

05:49:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:49:56 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250614@054919 UTC
05:49:56 Imager readout modes:
05:49:56   0 is Fast
05:49:56   1 is Normal
05:49:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:49:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:49:56 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:49:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:49:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:50:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:50:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:50:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:50:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
