10:25:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:25:40 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:25:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:25:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:25:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:25:41 User actions detected.
10:25:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:25:41 Dome is MaxDome
10:25:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:25:41 Imager is ASCOM
10:25:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:25:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240708@102500 UTC
10:25:42 Imager readout modes:
10:25:42   0 is Fast
10:25:42   1 is Normal
10:25:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:25:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:25:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:25:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:25:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:25:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:25:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:25:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:25:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
