08:43:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:43:26 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:43:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:43:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:43:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:43:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:43:27 Dome is MaxDome
08:43:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:43:28 Imager is ASCOM
08:43:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:43:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240328@083917 UTC
08:43:28 Imager readout modes:
08:43:28   0 is Fast
08:43:28   1 is Normal
08:43:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:43:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:43:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:43:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:43:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:43:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:43:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:43:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:43:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
