10:58:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:58:02 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:58:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:58:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:03 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:03 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:03 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240222@105600 UTC
10:58:03 Imager readout modes:
10:58:03   0 is Fast
10:58:03   1 is Normal
10:58:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:03 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
