06:56:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:56:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:56:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:56:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:56:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:56:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:56:15 User actions detected.
06:56:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:56:15 Dome is MaxDome
06:56:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:56:15 Imager is ASCOM
06:56:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:56:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250114@065257 UTC
06:56:15 Imager readout modes:
06:56:15   0 is Fast
06:56:15   1 is Normal
06:56:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:56:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:56:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:56:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:56:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:56:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:56:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:56:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:56:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
