08:00:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:00:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:00:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:00:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:00:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:00:12 User actions detected.
08:00:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:00:12 Dome is MaxDome
08:00:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:00:13 Imager is ASCOM
08:00:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:00:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230224@075642 UTC
08:00:13 Imager readout modes:
08:00:13   0 is Fast
08:00:13   1 is Normal
08:00:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:00:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:00:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:00:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:00:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:00:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:00:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:00:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:01:14   Solved! 53 stars matched.
08:01:14   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
