08:53:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
08:53:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:53:59 User actions detected.
08:53:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:53:59 Dome is MaxDome
08:54:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.21

08:54:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:54:00 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20201201@083125 UTC
08:54:00 Imager readout modes:
08:54:00   0 is Image Quality

08:54:00 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:54:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:54:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:54:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
