02:42:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:42:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:42:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:42:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:42:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:42:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

02:42:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:42:12 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20231013@023911 UTC
02:42:12 Imager readout modes:
02:42:12   0 is Fast
02:42:12   1 is Normal
02:42:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:42:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:42:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:42:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:42:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:42:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:42:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
