09:36:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:36:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:36:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:36:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:36:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:36:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:36:06 User actions detected.
09:36:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:36:06 Dome is MaxDome
09:36:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:36:06 Imager is ASCOM
09:36:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:36:06 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240714@093502 UTC
09:36:06 Imager readout modes:
09:36:06   0 is Fast
09:36:06   1 is Normal
09:36:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:36:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:36:06 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:36:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:36:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:36:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:36:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:36:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:36:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
