06:29:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:29:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:29:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:29:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:29:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:29:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:29:17 User actions detected.
06:29:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:29:17 Dome is MaxDome
06:29:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:29:18 Imager is ASCOM
06:29:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:29:18 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250115@062811 UTC
06:29:18 Imager readout modes:
06:29:18   0 is Fast
06:29:18   1 is Normal
06:29:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:29:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:29:18 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:29:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:29:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:29:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:29:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:29:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:29:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
