Licensed to Arne Henden
09:06:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:06:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:06:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:06:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:06:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:06:12 User actions detected.
09:06:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:06:12 Dome is MaxDome
09:06:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:06:12 Imager is ASCOM
09:06:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:06:12 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230303@090028 UTC
09:06:12 Imager readout modes:
09:06:12   0 is Fast
09:06:12   1 is Normal
09:06:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:06:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:06:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:06:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:06:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:06:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:06:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:06:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
