07:41:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:41:59 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:41:59   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:41:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:42:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:42:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:42:00 User actions detected.
07:42:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:42:00 Dome is MaxDome
07:42:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:42:00 Imager is ASCOM
07:42:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:42:00 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250115@073910 UTC
07:42:00 Imager readout modes:
07:42:00   0 is Fast
07:42:00   1 is Normal
07:42:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:42:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:42:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:42:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:42:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:42:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:42:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:42:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:42:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
