04:15:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:15:53 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:15:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:15:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:15:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:15:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:15:54 Dome is MaxDome
04:15:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:15:54 Imager is ASCOM
04:15:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:15:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@041518 UTC
04:15:54 Imager readout modes:
04:15:54   0 is Fast
04:15:54   1 is Normal
04:15:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:15:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:15:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:15:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:15:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:15:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:15:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:15:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:15:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
