02:02:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:02:18 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:02:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:02:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:02:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:02:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:02:19 Dome is MaxDome
02:02:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:02:19 Imager is ASCOM
02:02:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:02:19 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@015623 UTC
02:02:19 Imager readout modes:
02:02:19   0 is Fast
02:02:19   1 is Normal
02:02:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:02:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:02:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:02:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:02:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:02:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:02:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:02:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:02:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
