07:35:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:35:52 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:35:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:35:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:35:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:35:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:35:54 Dome is MaxDome
07:35:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:35:54 Imager is ASCOM
07:35:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:35:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@073333 UTC
07:35:54 Imager readout modes:
07:35:54   0 is Fast
07:35:54   1 is Normal
07:35:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:35:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:35:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:35:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:35:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:35:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:35:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:35:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:35:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
