02:50:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:50:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:50:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:50:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:50:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:50:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:50:14 Dome is MaxDome
02:50:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:50:14 Imager is ASCOM
02:50:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:50:14 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240412@024942 UTC
02:50:14 Imager readout modes:
02:50:14   0 is Fast
02:50:14   1 is Normal
02:50:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:50:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:50:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:50:14 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:50:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:50:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:50:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:50:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:50:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
