05:59:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:59:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:59:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:59:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:59:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:59:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:59:11 User actions detected.
05:59:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:59:11 Dome is MaxDome
05:59:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:59:11 Imager is ASCOM
05:59:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:59:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@055809 UTC
05:59:11 Imager readout modes:
05:59:11   0 is Fast
05:59:11   1 is Normal
05:59:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:59:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:59:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:59:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:59:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:59:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:59:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:59:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:59:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
