11:08:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
11:08:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:08:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:08:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:08:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:08:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:08:18 User actions detected.
11:08:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:08:18 Dome is MaxDome
11:08:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:08:19 Imager is ASCOM
11:08:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:08:19 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250115@110652 UTC
11:08:19 Imager readout modes:
11:08:19   0 is Fast
11:08:19   1 is Normal
11:08:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:08:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:08:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:08:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:08:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:08:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:08:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:08:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:08:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
