02:52:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:52:04 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:52:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:52:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:52:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:52:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:52:05 Dome is MaxDome
02:52:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:52:05 Imager is ASCOM
02:52:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:52:05 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@024900 UTC
02:52:05 Imager readout modes:
02:52:05   0 is Fast
02:52:05   1 is Normal
02:52:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:52:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:52:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:52:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:52:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:52:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:52:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:52:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:52:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
