02:12:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:12:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:12:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:12:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:12:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:12:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:12:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:12:46 Dome is MaxDome
02:12:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:12:47 Imager is ASCOM
02:12:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:12:47 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240128@021127 UTC
02:12:47 Imager readout modes:
02:12:47   0 is Fast
02:12:47   1 is Normal
02:12:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:12:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:12:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:12:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:12:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:12:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:12:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:12:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:12:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
