08:37:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:37:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:37:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:37:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:37:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:37:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:37:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:37:16 Dome is MaxDome
08:37:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:37:16 Imager is ASCOM
08:37:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:37:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20231013@082736 UTC
08:37:16 Imager readout modes:
08:37:16   0 is Fast
08:37:16   1 is Normal
08:37:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:37:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:37:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:37:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:37:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:37:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:37:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:37:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
