03:23:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:23:19 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:23:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:23:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:23:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:23:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:23:20 Dome is MaxDome
03:23:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:23:21 Imager is ASCOM
03:23:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:23:21 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20231013@031252 UTC
03:23:21 Imager readout modes:
03:23:21   0 is Fast
03:23:21   1 is Normal
03:23:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:23:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:23:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:23:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:23:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:23:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:23:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:23:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
