04:23:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:23:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:23:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:23:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:23:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:23:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:23:15 Dome is MaxDome
04:23:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:23:15 Imager is ASCOM
04:23:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:23:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@042238 UTC
04:23:15 Imager readout modes:
04:23:15   0 is Fast
04:23:15   1 is Normal
04:23:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:23:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:23:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:23:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:23:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:23:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:23:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:23:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:23:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
