02:45:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:45:39 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:45:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:45:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:45:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:45:40 User actions detected.
02:45:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:45:40 Dome is MaxDome
02:45:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:45:40 Imager is ASCOM
02:45:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:45:40 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250123@024305 UTC
02:45:40 Imager readout modes:
02:45:40   0 is Fast
02:45:40   1 is Normal
02:45:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:45:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:45:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:45:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:45:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:45:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:45:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:45:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:45:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
