05:20:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:20:17 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:20:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:20:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:20:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:20:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:20:18 Dome is MaxDome
05:20:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:20:19 Imager is ASCOM
05:20:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:20:19 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240412@051529 UTC
05:20:19 Imager readout modes:
05:20:19   0 is Fast
05:20:19   1 is Normal
05:20:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:20:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:20:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:20:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:20:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:20:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:20:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:20:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:20:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:22:41   [sync] pointing model updated
05:22:41   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
