10:32:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:32:24 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:32:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:32:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:32:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:32:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:32:25 Dome is MaxDome
10:32:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:32:25 Imager is ASCOM
10:32:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:32:25 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@103048 UTC
10:32:25 Imager readout modes:
10:32:25   0 is Fast
10:32:25   1 is Normal
10:32:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:32:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:32:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:32:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:32:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:32:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:32:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:32:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:32:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
