11:00:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:00:06 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:00:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:00:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:00:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:00:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:00:07 Dome is MaxDome
11:00:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:00:07 Imager is ASCOM
11:00:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:00:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@105503 UTC
11:00:07 Imager readout modes:
11:00:07   0 is Fast
11:00:07   1 is Normal
11:00:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:00:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:00:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:00:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:00:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:00:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:00:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:00:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
