02:56:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:56:38 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:56:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:56:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:56:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:56:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:56:39 Dome is MaxDome
02:56:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:56:39 Imager is ASCOM
02:56:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:56:39 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@025343 UTC
02:56:39 Imager readout modes:
02:56:39   0 is Fast
02:56:39   1 is Normal
02:56:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:56:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:56:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:56:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:56:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:56:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:56:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:56:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:56:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
