03:32:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:32:44 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:32:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:32:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:32:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:32:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:32:45 Dome is MaxDome
03:32:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:32:45 Imager is ASCOM
03:32:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:32:45 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240118@033147 UTC
03:32:45 Imager readout modes:
03:32:45   0 is Fast
03:32:45   1 is Normal
03:32:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:32:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:32:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:32:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:32:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:32:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:32:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:32:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:32:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
