12:12:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
12:12:28 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:12:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:12:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:12:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:12:29 User actions detected.
12:12:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:12:29 Dome is MaxDome
12:12:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:12:29 Imager is ASCOM
12:12:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:12:29 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250206@121044 UTC
12:12:29 Imager readout modes:
12:12:29   0 is Fast
12:12:29   1 is Normal
12:12:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:12:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:12:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:12:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:12:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:12:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:12:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:12:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:12:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
