06:23:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:23:54 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:23:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:23:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:23:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:23:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:23:55 Dome is MaxDome
06:23:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:23:55 Imager is ASCOM
06:23:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:23:55 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@062238 UTC
06:23:55 Imager readout modes:
06:23:55   0 is Fast
06:23:55   1 is Normal
06:23:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:23:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:23:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:23:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:23:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:23:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:23:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:23:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:23:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
