09:44:27 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
09:44:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:44:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:44:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
09:44:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:44:28 User actions detected.
09:44:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:44:28 Dome is MaxDome
09:44:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
09:44:29 Imager is ASCOM
09:44:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:44:29 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20220416@094352 UTC
09:44:29 Imager readout modes:
09:44:29   0 is Fast
09:44:29   1 is Normal
09:44:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:44:29 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
09:44:29 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
09:44:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:44:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
09:44:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
09:44:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:44:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:44:34 ACPS Observation IC_1276(1 of 1)
