01:45:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:45:04 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:45:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:45:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:45:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:45:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:45:05 Dome is MaxDome
01:45:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:45:05 Imager is ASCOM
01:45:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:45:05 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240117@014433 UTC
01:45:05 Imager readout modes:
01:45:05   0 is Fast
01:45:05   1 is Normal
01:45:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:45:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:45:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:45:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:45:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:45:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:45:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:45:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:45:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
