05:24:14 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
05:24:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:24:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:24:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
05:24:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:24:15 User actions detected.
05:24:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:24:15 Dome is MaxDome
05:24:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
05:24:16 Imager is ASCOM
05:24:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:24:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220415@052125 UTC
05:24:16 Imager readout modes:
05:24:16   0 is Fast
05:24:16   1 is Normal
05:24:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:24:16 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
05:24:16 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
05:24:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:24:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
05:24:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
05:24:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:24:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
