11:04:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:04:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:04:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:04:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:04:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:04:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:04:16 User actions detected.
11:04:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:04:16 Dome is MaxDome
11:04:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:04:16 Imager is ASCOM
11:04:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:04:16 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230305@110343 UTC
11:04:16 Imager readout modes:
11:04:16   0 is Fast
11:04:16   1 is Normal
11:04:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:04:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:04:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:04:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:04:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:04:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:04:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:04:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
