03:24:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:24:45 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:24:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:24:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:24:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:24:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:24:46 Dome is MaxDome
03:24:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:24:46 Imager is ASCOM
03:24:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:24:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@032411 UTC
03:24:46 Imager readout modes:
03:24:46   0 is Fast
03:24:46   1 is Normal
03:24:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:24:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:24:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:24:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:24:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:24:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:24:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:24:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:24:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
