04:55:12 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
04:55:12 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:55:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:55:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:55:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:55:13 User actions detected.
04:55:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:55:13 Dome is MaxDome
04:55:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:55:14 Imager is ASCOM
04:55:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:55:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220416@045341 UTC
04:55:14 Imager readout modes:
04:55:14   0 is Fast
04:55:14   1 is Normal
04:55:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:55:14 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:55:14 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:55:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:55:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:55:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:55:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:55:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
