10:58:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:58:39 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:58:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:58:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:40 User actions detected.
10:58:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:41 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:41 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:41 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250206@105326 UTC
10:58:41 Imager readout modes:
10:58:41   0 is Fast
10:58:41   1 is Normal
10:58:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
