08:10:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:10:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:10:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:10:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:10:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:10:15 User actions detected.
08:10:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:10:15 Dome is MaxDome
08:10:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:10:16 Imager is ASCOM
08:10:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:16 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250124@080940 UTC
08:10:16 Imager readout modes:
08:10:16   0 is Fast
08:10:16   1 is Normal
08:10:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:10:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:10:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:10:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:10:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
