11:56:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
11:56:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:56:37 User actions detected.
11:56:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:56:37 Dome is MaxDome
11:56:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

11:56:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:56:38 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20201126@115051 UTC
11:56:38 Imager readout modes:
11:56:38   0 is Image Quality
11:56:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:56:38 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:56:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:56:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:56:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
