10:10:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:10:29 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:10:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:10:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:10:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:10:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:10:30 Dome is MaxDome
10:10:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:10:31 Imager is ASCOM
10:10:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:10:31 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@100930 UTC
10:10:31 Imager readout modes:
10:10:31   0 is Fast
10:10:31   1 is Normal
10:10:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:10:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:10:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:10:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:10:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:10:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:10:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:10:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:10:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
