01:56:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:56:18 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:56:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:56:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:56:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:56:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:56:19 Dome is MaxDome
01:56:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:56:19 Imager is ASCOM
01:56:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:56:19 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240117@015545 UTC
01:56:19 Imager readout modes:
01:56:19   0 is Fast
01:56:19   1 is Normal
01:56:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:56:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:56:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:56:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:56:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:56:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:56:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:56:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:56:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
