05:03:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:03:38 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:03:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:03:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:03:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:03:39 User actions detected.
05:03:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:03:39 Dome is MaxDome
05:03:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:03:39 Imager is ASCOM
05:03:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:03:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@050304 UTC
05:03:39 Imager readout modes:
05:03:39   0 is Fast
05:03:39   1 is Normal
05:03:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:03:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:03:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:03:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:03:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:03:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:03:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:03:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:03:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
