09:36:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:36:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:36:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:36:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:36:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:36:21 User actions detected.
09:36:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:36:21 Dome is MaxDome
09:36:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:36:21 Imager is ASCOM
09:36:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:36:21 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230110@093146 UTC
09:36:21 Imager readout modes:
09:36:21   0 is Fast
09:36:21   1 is Normal
09:36:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:36:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:36:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:36:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:36:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:36:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:36:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:36:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:36:21 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:36:21 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
