12:07:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:07:48 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:07:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:07:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:07:49 Dome is MaxDome
12:07:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:07:50 Imager is ASCOM
12:07:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:07:50 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240224@120459 UTC
12:07:50 Imager readout modes:
12:07:50   0 is Fast
12:07:50   1 is Normal
12:07:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:07:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:07:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:07:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:07:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:07:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:07:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:07:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:07:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

12:08:06   Imaging to NGC_6235_SG_20240224_120806_T3
12:08:06   (taking 60 sec. exposure, SG filter, binning = 2)
12:08:06   (using Normal readout mode)
