04:45:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:45:32 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:45:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:45:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:45:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:45:33 User actions detected.
04:45:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:45:33 Dome is MaxDome
04:45:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:45:33 Imager is ASCOM
04:45:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:45:33 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230224@044433 UTC
04:45:33 Imager readout modes:
04:45:33   0 is Fast
04:45:33   1 is Normal
04:45:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:45:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:45:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:45:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:45:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:45:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:45:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:45:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
