Licensed to Arne Henden
05:48:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:48:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:48:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:48:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:48:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:48:31 User actions detected.
05:48:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:48:31 Dome is MaxDome
05:48:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:48:31 Imager is ASCOM
05:48:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:48:31 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@054752 UTC
05:48:31 Imager readout modes:
05:48:31   0 is Fast
05:48:31   1 is Normal
05:48:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:48:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:48:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:48:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:48:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:48:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:48:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:48:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:48:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
