10:39:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:39:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:39:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:39:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:39:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:39:14 User actions detected.
10:39:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:39:14 Dome is MaxDome
10:39:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:39:14 Imager is ASCOM
10:39:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:39:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230224@103051 UTC
10:39:14 Imager readout modes:
10:39:14   0 is Fast
10:39:14   1 is Normal
10:39:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:39:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:39:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:39:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:39:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:39:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:39:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:39:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
