02:37:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:37:39 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:37:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:37:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:37:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:37:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:37:41 Dome is MaxDome
02:37:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:37:41 Imager is ASCOM
02:37:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:37:41 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240222@023418 UTC
02:37:41 Imager readout modes:
02:37:41   0 is Fast
02:37:41   1 is Normal
02:37:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:37:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:37:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:37:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:37:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:37:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:37:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:37:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:37:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
