03:04:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:04:57 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:04:57   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:04:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:04:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:04:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:04:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:04:58 Dome is MaxDome
03:04:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:04:59 Imager is ASCOM
03:04:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:04:59 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240507@025817 UTC
03:04:59 Imager readout modes:
03:04:59   0 is Fast
03:04:59   1 is Normal
03:04:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:04:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:04:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:04:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:04:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:04:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:04:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:04:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:04:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
