11:43:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
11:43:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:43:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:43:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:43:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:43:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:43:33 User actions detected.
11:43:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:43:33 Dome is MaxDome
11:43:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:43:33 Imager is ASCOM
11:43:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:43:33 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250115@112450 UTC
11:43:33 Imager readout modes:
11:43:33   0 is Fast
11:43:33   1 is Normal
11:43:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:43:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:43:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:43:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:43:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:43:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:43:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:43:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:43:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
