02:18:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:18:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:18:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:18:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:18:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:18:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:18:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:18:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:18:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:18:27 Imager is ASCOM
02:18:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:18:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@021428 UTC
02:18:27 Imager readout modes:
02:18:27   0 is Fast
02:18:27   1 is Normal
02:18:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:18:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:18:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:18:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:18:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:18:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:18:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:18:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:18:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
