01:34:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
01:34:02 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:34:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:34:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
01:34:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:34:03 User actions detected.
01:34:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:34:03 Dome is MaxDome
01:34:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:34:04 Imager is ASCOM
01:34:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:34:04 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250124@012944 UTC
01:34:04 Imager readout modes:
01:34:04   0 is Fast
01:34:04   1 is Normal
01:34:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:34:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:34:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:34:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:34:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:34:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:34:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:34:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:34:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
