11:07:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:07:22 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:07:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:07:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:07:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:07:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:07:23 Dome is MaxDome
11:07:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:07:23 Imager is ASCOM
11:07:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:07:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240224@110536 UTC
11:07:23 Imager readout modes:
11:07:23   0 is Fast
11:07:23   1 is Normal
11:07:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:07:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:07:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:07:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:07:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:07:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:07:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:07:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:07:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
