09:14:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:14:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:14:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:14:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:14:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:14:32 User actions detected.
09:14:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:14:32 Dome is MaxDome
09:14:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:14:32 Imager is ASCOM
09:14:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:14:32 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240711@091341 UTC
09:14:32 Imager readout modes:
09:14:32   0 is Fast
09:14:32   1 is Normal
09:14:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:14:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:14:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:14:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:14:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:14:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:14:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:14:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:14:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
