10:24:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:24:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:24:43 User actions detected.
10:24:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

10:24:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:24:43 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250629@102339 UTC
10:24:43 Imager readout modes:
10:24:43   0 is Fast
10:24:43   1 is Normal
10:24:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:24:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:24:43 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:24:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:24:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:24:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:24:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:24:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:24:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
