05:26:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:26:35 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:26:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:26:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:26:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:26:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:26:36 Dome is MaxDome
05:26:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:26:36 Imager is ASCOM
05:26:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:26:36 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@052601 UTC
05:26:36 Imager readout modes:
05:26:36   0 is Fast
05:26:36   1 is Normal
05:26:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:26:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:26:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:26:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:26:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:26:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:26:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:26:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:26:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
