10:13:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:13:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:13:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:13:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:13:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:13:11 User actions detected.
10:13:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:13:11 Dome is MaxDome
10:13:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:13:11 Imager is ASCOM
10:13:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:13:11 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250207@095548 UTC
10:13:11 Imager readout modes:
10:13:11   0 is Fast
10:13:11   1 is Normal
10:13:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:13:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:13:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:13:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:13:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:13:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:13:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:13:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:13:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
