05:19:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:19:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:19:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:19:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:19:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:19:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:19:09 Dome is MaxDome
05:19:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:19:09 Imager is ASCOM
05:19:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:19:09 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240328@051834 UTC
05:19:09 Imager readout modes:
05:19:09   0 is Fast
05:19:09   1 is Normal
05:19:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:19:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:19:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:19:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:19:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:19:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:19:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:19:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:19:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
