12:33:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:33:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:33:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:33:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:33:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:33:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:33:51 Dome is MaxDome
12:33:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:33:51 Imager is ASCOM
12:33:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:33:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240217@123038 UTC
12:33:51 Imager readout modes:
12:33:51   0 is Fast
12:33:51   1 is Normal
12:33:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:33:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:33:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:33:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:33:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:33:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:33:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3

12:34:07   Imaging to NGC_6333_SG_20240217_123407_T3
12:34:07   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
12:34:07   (using Normal readout mode)
