09:13:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:13:59 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:13:59   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:13:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:14:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:14:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:14:00 User actions detected.
09:14:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:14:00 Dome is MaxDome
09:14:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:14:00 Imager is ASCOM
09:14:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240704@091211 UTC
09:14:00 Imager readout modes:
09:14:00   0 is Fast
09:14:00   1 is Normal
09:14:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:14:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:14:00 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:14:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
