04:37:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:37:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:37:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:37:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:37:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:37:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:37:08 User actions detected.
04:37:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:37:08 Dome is MaxDome
04:37:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:37:09 Imager is ASCOM
04:37:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:37:09 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@042935 UTC
04:37:09 Imager readout modes:
04:37:09   0 is Fast
04:37:09   1 is Normal
04:37:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:37:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:37:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:37:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:37:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:37:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:37:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:37:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:37:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
