11:32:54 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
11:32:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:32:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:32:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:32:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
11:32:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:32:56 User actions detected.
11:32:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:32:56 Dome is MaxDome
11:32:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
11:32:56 Imager is QSI Universal
11:32:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:32:56 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20210209@112644 UTC
11:32:56 Imager readout modes:
11:32:56   0 is Image Quality
11:32:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:32:57 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:32:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:32:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:33:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
11:33:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
11:33:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:33:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
