02:46:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:46:11 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:46:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:46:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:46:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:46:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:46:12 Dome is MaxDome
02:46:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:46:12 Imager is ASCOM
02:46:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:46:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@024107 UTC
02:46:12 Imager readout modes:
02:46:12   0 is Fast
02:46:12   1 is Normal
02:46:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:46:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:46:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:46:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:46:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:46:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:46:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:46:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:46:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
