06:03:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:03:49 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:03:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:03:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:03:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:03:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:03:51 Dome is MaxDome
06:03:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:03:51 Imager is ASCOM
06:03:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:03:51 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@060237 UTC
06:03:51 Imager readout modes:
06:03:51   0 is Fast
06:03:51   1 is Normal
06:03:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:03:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:03:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:03:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:03:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:03:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:03:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:03:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:03:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
