10:50:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:50:32 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:50:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:50:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:50:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:50:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:50:34 Dome is MaxDome
10:50:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:50:34 Imager is ASCOM
10:50:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:50:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230327@104930 UTC
10:50:34 Imager readout modes:
10:50:34   0 is Fast
10:50:34   1 is Normal
10:50:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:50:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:50:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:50:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:50:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:50:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:50:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:50:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
