07:55:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:55:01 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:55:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:55:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:55:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:55:02 User actions detected.
07:55:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:55:02 Dome is MaxDome
07:55:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:55:02 Imager is ASCOM
07:55:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:55:02 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@075303 UTC
07:55:02 Imager readout modes:
07:55:02   0 is Fast
07:55:02   1 is Normal
07:55:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:55:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:55:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:55:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:55:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:55:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:55:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:55:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:55:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
