10:19:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:19:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:19:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:19:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:01 User actions detected.
10:19:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:02 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:02 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:02 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230207@100327 UTC
10:19:02 Imager readout modes:
10:19:02   0 is Fast
10:19:02   1 is Normal
10:19:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:19:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
