02:46:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:46:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:46:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:46:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:46:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:46:17 User actions detected.
02:46:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:46:17 Dome is MaxDome
02:46:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:46:17 Imager is ASCOM
02:46:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:46:17 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250124@024515 UTC
02:46:17 Imager readout modes:
02:46:17   0 is Fast
02:46:17   1 is Normal
02:46:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:46:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:46:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:46:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:46:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:46:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:46:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:46:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:46:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
