02:33:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:33:44 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:33:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:33:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:33:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:33:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:33:45 Dome is MaxDome
02:33:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:33:45 Imager is ASCOM
02:33:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:33:45 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@022853 UTC
02:33:45 Imager readout modes:
02:33:45   0 is Fast
02:33:45   1 is Normal
02:33:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:33:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:33:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:33:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:33:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:33:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:33:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:33:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
