02:39:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:39:20 User actions detected.
02:39:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:39:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:39:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:39:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:39:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:39:20 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230206@025643 UTC
02:39:20 Imager readout modes:
02:39:20   0 is Fast
02:39:20   1 is Normal
02:39:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:39:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:39:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:39:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:39:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:39:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:39:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:39:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:39:20 This is AcquireImages V9.0.1
02:39:20 Hardware pier side reporting is available.
