05:40:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:40:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:40:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:40:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:40:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:40:22 User actions detected.
05:40:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:40:22 Dome is MaxDome
05:40:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:40:22 Imager is ASCOM
05:40:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:40:22 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240625@053741 UTC
05:40:22 Imager readout modes:
05:40:22   0 is Fast
05:40:22   1 is Normal
05:40:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:40:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:40:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:40:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:40:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:40:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:40:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:40:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:40:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
