11:30:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:30:40 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:30:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:30:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:30:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:30:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:30:42 Dome is MaxDome
11:30:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:30:42 Imager is ASCOM
11:30:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:30:42 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240219@112525 UTC
11:30:42 Imager readout modes:
11:30:42   0 is Fast
11:30:42   1 is Normal
11:30:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:30:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:30:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:30:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:30:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:30:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:30:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:30:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:30:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
