05:54:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:54:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:54:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:54:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:54:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:54:21 User actions detected.
05:54:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:54:21 Dome is MaxDome
05:54:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:54:21 Imager is ASCOM
05:54:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:54:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250114@054935 UTC
05:54:21 Imager readout modes:
05:54:21   0 is Fast
05:54:21   1 is Normal
05:54:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:54:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:54:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:54:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:54:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:54:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:54:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:54:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:54:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
