11:27:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:27:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:27:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:27:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:27:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:27:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:27:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:27:14 Dome is MaxDome
11:27:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:27:15 Imager is ASCOM
11:27:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:27:15 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240217@112454 UTC
11:27:15 Imager readout modes:
11:27:15   0 is Fast
11:27:15   1 is Normal
11:27:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:27:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:27:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:27:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:27:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:27:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:27:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:27:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:27:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
