02:20:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:20:03 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:20:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:20:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:20:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:20:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:20:04 Dome is MaxDome
02:20:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:20:04 Imager is ASCOM
02:20:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:20:04 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@021819 UTC
02:20:04 Imager readout modes:
02:20:04   0 is Fast
02:20:04   1 is Normal
02:20:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:20:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:20:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:20:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:20:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:20:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:20:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
