08:04:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:04:37 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:04:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:04:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:04:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:04:38 User actions detected.
08:04:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:04:38 Dome is MaxDome
08:04:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:04:38 Imager is ASCOM
08:04:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:04:38 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240625@080359 UTC
08:04:38 Imager readout modes:
08:04:38   0 is Fast
08:04:38   1 is Normal
08:04:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:04:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:04:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:04:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:04:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:04:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:04:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:04:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:04:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
