02:51:10 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
02:51:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:51:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:51:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
02:51:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:51:11 User actions detected.
02:51:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:51:11 Dome is MaxDome
02:51:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
02:51:11 Imager is QSI Universal
02:51:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:51:12 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20210207@024956 UTC
02:51:12 Imager readout modes:
02:51:12   0 is Image Quality
02:51:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:51:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:51:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:51:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:51:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
02:51:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
02:51:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:51:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
