04:06:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:06:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:06:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:06:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:06:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:06:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:06:17 Dome is MaxDome
04:06:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:06:17 Imager is ASCOM
04:06:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:06:17 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240311@040227 UTC
04:06:17 Imager readout modes:
04:06:17   0 is Fast
04:06:17   1 is Normal
04:06:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:06:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:06:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:06:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:06:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:06:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:06:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:06:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:06:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
