09:35:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:35:52 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:35:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:35:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:35:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:35:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:35:53 Dome is MaxDome
09:35:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:35:53 Imager is ASCOM
09:35:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:35:53 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240507@093123 UTC
09:35:53 Imager readout modes:
09:35:53   0 is Fast
09:35:53   1 is Normal
09:35:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:35:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:35:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:35:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:35:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:35:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:35:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:35:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:35:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
