11:00:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:00:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:00:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:00:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:00:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:00:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:00:39 User actions detected.
11:00:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:00:39 Dome is MaxDome
11:00:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:00:40 Imager is ASCOM
11:00:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:00:40 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240708@105930 UTC
11:00:40 Imager readout modes:
11:00:40   0 is Fast
11:00:40   1 is Normal
11:00:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:00:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:00:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:00:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:00:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:00:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:00:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:00:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:00:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
