11:44:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:44:03 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:44:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:44:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:44:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:44:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:44:04 Dome is MaxDome
11:44:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:44:04 Imager is ASCOM
11:44:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:44:04 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240223@114329 UTC
11:44:04 Imager readout modes:
11:44:04   0 is Fast
11:44:04   1 is Normal
11:44:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:44:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:44:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:44:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:44:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:44:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:44:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:44:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:44:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
