02:57:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:57:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:57:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:57:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:57:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:57:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:57:25 User actions detected.
02:57:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:57:25 Dome is MaxDome
02:57:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:57:25 Imager is ASCOM
02:57:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:57:25 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250123@025630 UTC
02:57:25 Imager readout modes:
02:57:25   0 is Fast
02:57:25   1 is Normal
02:57:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:57:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:57:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:57:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:57:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:57:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:57:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:57:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:57:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
