06:54:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:54:27 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:54:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:54:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:54:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:54:28 User actions detected.
06:54:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:54:28 Dome is MaxDome
06:54:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:54:28 Imager is ASCOM
06:54:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:54:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240625@065207 UTC
06:54:28 Imager readout modes:
06:54:28   0 is Fast
06:54:28   1 is Normal
06:54:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:54:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:54:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:54:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:54:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:54:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:54:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:54:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:54:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
