04:15:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:15:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:15:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:15:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:15:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:15:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:15:55 User actions detected.
04:15:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:15:55 Dome is MaxDome
04:15:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:15:55 Imager is ASCOM
04:15:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:15:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@041225 UTC
04:15:55 Imager readout modes:
04:15:55   0 is Fast
04:15:55   1 is Normal
04:15:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:15:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:15:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:15:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:15:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:16:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:16:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:16:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:16:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
