05:22:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:22:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:22:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:22:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:22:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:22:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:22:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:22:50 Dome is MaxDome
05:22:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:22:51 Imager is ASCOM
05:22:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:22:51 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240222@052146 UTC
05:22:51 Imager readout modes:
05:22:51   0 is Fast
05:22:51   1 is Normal
05:22:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:22:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:22:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:22:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:22:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:22:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:22:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:22:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:22:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
