Licensed to Arne Henden
08:42:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:42:43 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:42:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:42:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:42:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:42:44 User actions detected.
08:42:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:42:44 Dome is MaxDome
08:42:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:42:44 Imager is ASCOM
08:42:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:42:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240726@083842 UTC
08:42:44 Imager readout modes:
08:42:44   0 is Fast
08:42:44   1 is Normal
08:42:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:42:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:42:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:42:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:42:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:42:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:42:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:42:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:42:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
