09:26:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:26:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:26:18 User actions detected.
09:26:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:26:18 Dome is MaxDome
09:26:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28

09:26:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:26:18 Selecting filter Open from previous ACP run at 20250629@092542 UTC
09:26:18 Imager readout modes:
09:26:18   0 is Fast
09:26:18   1 is Normal
09:26:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:26:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:26:18 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:26:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:26:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:26:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:26:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:26:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:26:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
