10:05:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:05:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II

10:05:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:05:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250623@100156 UTC
10:05:28 Imager readout modes:
10:05:28   0 is Fast
10:05:28   1 is Normal
10:05:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:05:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:05:28 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:05:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:05:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:05:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:05:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:05:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:05:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
