12:08:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:08:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:08:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:08:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:08:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:08:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:08:28 Dome is MaxDome
12:08:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:08:28 Imager is ASCOM
12:08:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:08:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@120643 UTC
12:08:28 Imager readout modes:
12:08:28   0 is Fast
12:08:28   1 is Normal
12:08:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:08:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:08:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:08:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:08:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:08:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:08:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:08:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:08:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

12:08:40   Imaging to NGC_6356_SG_20240222_120840_T3
12:08:40   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
12:08:40   (using Normal readout mode)
