02:05:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:05:43 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:05:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:05:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:05:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:05:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:05:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:05:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:05:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:05:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:05:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@020430 UTC
02:05:44 Imager readout modes:
02:05:44   0 is Fast
02:05:44   1 is Normal
02:05:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:05:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:05:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:05:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:05:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:05:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:05:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:05:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:05:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
