01:28:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:28:28 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:28:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:28:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:28:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:28:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:28:30 Dome is MaxDome
01:28:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:28:30 Imager is ASCOM
01:28:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:28:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240119@012502 UTC
01:28:30 Imager readout modes:
01:28:30   0 is Fast
01:28:30   1 is Normal
01:28:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:28:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:28:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:28:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:28:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:28:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:28:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
