08:39:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:39:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:39:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:39:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:39:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:39:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:39:10 User actions detected.
08:39:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:39:10 Dome is MaxDome
08:39:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:39:10 Imager is ASCOM
08:39:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:39:10 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250206@083839 UTC
08:39:10 Imager readout modes:
08:39:10   0 is Fast
08:39:10   1 is Normal
08:39:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:39:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:39:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:39:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:39:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:39:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:39:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:39:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:39:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
