04:00:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:00:43 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:00:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:00:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:00:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:00:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:00:44 Dome is MaxDome
04:00:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:00:44 Imager is ASCOM
04:00:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:00:45 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@035912 UTC
04:00:45 Imager readout modes:
04:00:45   0 is Fast
04:00:45   1 is Normal
04:00:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:00:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:00:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:00:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:00:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:00:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:00:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:00:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:00:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
