01:52:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:52:40 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:52:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:52:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:52:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:52:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:52:41 Dome is MaxDome
01:52:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:52:41 Imager is ASCOM
01:52:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:52:41 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@014133 UTC
01:52:41 Imager readout modes:
01:52:41   0 is Fast
01:52:41   1 is Normal
01:52:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:52:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:52:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:52:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:52:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:52:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:52:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:52:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:52:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
