08:27:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:27:55 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:27:55   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:27:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:27:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:27:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:27:56 User actions detected.
08:27:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:27:56 Dome is MaxDome
08:27:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:27:56 Imager is ASCOM
08:27:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:27:56 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250206@082520 UTC
08:27:56 Imager readout modes:
08:27:56   0 is Fast
08:27:56   1 is Normal
08:27:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:27:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:27:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:27:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:27:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:28:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:28:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:28:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:28:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
