12:44:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:44:38 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:44:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:44:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:44:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:44:39 User actions detected.
12:44:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:44:39 Dome is MaxDome
12:44:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:44:39 Imager is ASCOM
12:44:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:44:39 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230207@124221 UTC
12:44:39 Imager readout modes:
12:44:39   0 is Fast
12:44:39   1 is Normal
12:44:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:44:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:44:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:44:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:44:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:44:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:44:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:44:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
