10:04:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:04:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:04:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:04:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:04:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:04:09 User actions detected.
10:04:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:04:09 Dome is MaxDome
10:04:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:04:10 Imager is ASCOM
10:04:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:04:10 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250114@100243 UTC
10:04:10 Imager readout modes:
10:04:10   0 is Fast
10:04:10   1 is Normal
10:04:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:04:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:04:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:04:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:04:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:04:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:04:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:04:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:04:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
