Licensed to Arne Henden
09:00:35 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:00:35 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:00:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:00:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:00:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:00:36 User actions detected.
09:00:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:00:36 Dome is MaxDome
09:00:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:00:36 Imager is ASCOM
09:00:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:00:36 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240710@085852 UTC
09:00:36 Imager readout modes:
09:00:36   0 is Fast
09:00:36   1 is Normal
09:00:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:00:36 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:00:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:00:36 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:00:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:00:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:00:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:00:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:00:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
