07:10:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:10:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:10:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:10:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:10:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:10:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:10:32 Dome is MaxDome
07:10:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:10:32 Imager is ASCOM
07:10:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:10:32 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@070742 UTC
07:10:32 Imager readout modes:
07:10:32   0 is Fast
07:10:32   1 is Normal
07:10:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:10:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:10:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:10:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:10:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:10:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:10:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:10:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:10:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
