02:26:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:26:38 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:26:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:26:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:26:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:26:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:26:39 Dome is MaxDome
02:26:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:26:39 Imager is ASCOM
02:26:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:26:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240221@022352 UTC
02:26:39 Imager readout modes:
02:26:39   0 is Fast
02:26:39   1 is Normal
02:26:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:26:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:26:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:26:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:26:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:26:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:26:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:26:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:26:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
