08:52:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:52:53 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:52:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:52:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:52:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:52:54 User actions detected.
08:52:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:52:54 Dome is MaxDome
08:52:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:52:54 Imager is ASCOM
08:52:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:52:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230129@084943 UTC
08:52:54 Imager readout modes:
08:52:54   0 is Fast
08:52:54   1 is Normal
08:52:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:52:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:52:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:52:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:52:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:52:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:52:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:52:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:52:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
08:52:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
