10:34:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:34:17 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:34:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:34:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:34:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:34:18 User actions detected.
10:34:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:34:18 Dome is MaxDome
10:34:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:34:18 Imager is ASCOM
10:34:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:34:18 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240704@103115 UTC
10:34:18 Imager readout modes:
10:34:18   0 is Fast
10:34:18   1 is Normal
10:34:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:34:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:34:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:34:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:34:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:34:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:34:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:34:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:34:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
