09:05:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:05:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:05:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:05:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3

09:05:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:17 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:17 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240328@090419 UTC
09:05:17 Imager readout modes:
09:05:17   0 is Fast
09:05:17   1 is Normal
09:05:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
