13:06:48 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
13:06:48 Custom image file path/names are in use

13:06:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
13:06:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
13:06:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:06:50 User actions detected.
13:06:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
13:06:50 Dome is MaxDome
13:06:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
13:06:51 Imager is ASCOM
13:06:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:06:51 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220205@130553 UTC
13:06:51 Imager readout modes:
13:06:51   0 is Fast
13:06:51   1 is Normal
13:06:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
13:06:51 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
13:06:51 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
13:06:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:06:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
13:06:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
13:06:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:06:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
13:06:56 ACPS Observation PG_1424+240(1 of 1)
