09:20:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:20:53 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:20:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:20:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:20:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:20:55 User actions detected.
09:20:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:20:55 Dome is MaxDome
09:20:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:20:55 Imager is ASCOM
09:20:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:20:55 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230303@091953 UTC
09:20:55 Imager readout modes:
09:20:55   0 is Fast
09:20:55   1 is Normal
09:20:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:20:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:20:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:20:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:20:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:20:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:20:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:20:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
