07:05:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:05:43 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:05:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:05:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:05:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:05:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:05:44 Dome is MaxDome
07:05:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:05:44 Imager is ASCOM
07:05:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:05:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240412@070425 UTC
07:05:44 Imager readout modes:
07:05:44   0 is Fast
07:05:44   1 is Normal
07:05:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:05:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:05:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:05:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:05:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:05:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:05:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:05:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:05:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
