11:04:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:04:26 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:04:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:04:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:04:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:04:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:04:27 Dome is MaxDome
11:04:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:04:27 Imager is ASCOM
11:04:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:04:27 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@105823 UTC
11:04:27 Imager readout modes:
11:04:27   0 is Fast
11:04:27   1 is Normal
11:04:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:04:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:04:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:04:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:04:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:04:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:04:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:04:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:04:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
