07:28:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:28:23 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:28:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:28:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:28:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:28:24 User actions detected.
07:28:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:28:24 Dome is MaxDome
07:28:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:28:24 Imager is ASCOM
07:28:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:28:24 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230207@072722 UTC
07:28:24 Imager readout modes:
07:28:24   0 is Fast
07:28:24   1 is Normal
07:28:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:28:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:28:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:28:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:28:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:28:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:28:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:28:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
