12:46:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:46:51 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:46:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:46:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:46:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:46:52 User actions detected.
12:46:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:46:52 Dome is MaxDome
12:46:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:46:52 Imager is ASCOM
12:46:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:46:52 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221222@124357 UTC
12:46:52 Imager readout modes:
12:46:52   0 is Fast
12:46:52   1 is Normal
12:46:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:46:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:46:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:46:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:46:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:46:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:46:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:46:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:46:52 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:46:52 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
