12:52:10 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
12:52:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:52:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:52:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
12:52:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:52:12 User actions detected.
12:52:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:52:12 Dome is MaxDome
12:52:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
12:52:12 Imager is ASCOM
12:52:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:52:12 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20220208@124839 UTC
12:52:12 Imager readout modes:
12:52:12   0 is Fast
12:52:12   1 is Normal
12:52:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:52:12 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:52:12 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
12:52:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:52:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
12:52:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
12:52:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:52:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
