10:23:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:23:46 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:23:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:23:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:23:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:23:47 User actions detected.
10:23:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:23:47 Dome is MaxDome
10:23:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:23:47 Imager is ASCOM
10:23:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:23:47 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240711@102237 UTC
10:23:47 Imager readout modes:
10:23:47   0 is Fast
10:23:47   1 is Normal
10:23:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:23:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:23:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:23:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:23:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:23:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:23:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:23:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:23:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
