06:37:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:37:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:37:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:37:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:37:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:37:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:37:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:37:04 Dome is MaxDome
06:37:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:37:04 Imager is ASCOM
06:37:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:37:04 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20221216@063528 UTC
06:37:04 Imager readout modes:
06:37:04   0 is Fast
06:37:04   1 is Normal
06:37:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:37:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:37:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:37:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:37:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:37:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:37:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:37:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:37:04 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:37:04 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
