04:12:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:12:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:12:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:12:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:12:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:12:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:12:17 Dome is MaxDome
04:12:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:12:18 Imager is ASCOM
04:12:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:12:18 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240514@040813 UTC
04:12:18 Imager readout modes:
04:12:18   0 is Fast
04:12:18   1 is Normal
04:12:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:12:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:12:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:12:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:12:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:12:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:12:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:12:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:12:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
