10:18:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:18:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:18:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:18:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:18:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:18:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:18:27 User actions detected.
10:18:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:18:28 Dome is MaxDome
10:18:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:18:28 Imager is ASCOM
10:18:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:18:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240618@101704 UTC
10:18:28 Imager readout modes:
10:18:28   0 is Fast
10:18:28   1 is Normal
10:18:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:18:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:18:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:18:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:18:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:18:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:18:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:18:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:18:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
