05:44:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:44:32 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:44:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:44:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:44:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:44:33 User actions detected.
05:44:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:44:33 Dome is MaxDome
05:44:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:44:33 Imager is ASCOM
05:44:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:44:33 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250207@054237 UTC
05:44:33 Imager readout modes:
05:44:33   0 is Fast
05:44:33   1 is Normal
05:44:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:44:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:44:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:44:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:44:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:44:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:44:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:44:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:44:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
