11:57:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:57:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:57:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:57:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:57:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:57:12 User actions detected.
11:57:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:57:12 Dome is MaxDome
11:57:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:57:12 Imager is ASCOM
11:57:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:57:12 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20230203@114852 UTC
11:57:12 Imager readout modes:
11:57:12   0 is Fast
11:57:12   1 is Normal
11:57:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:57:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:57:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:57:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:57:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:57:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:57:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:57:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
