12:12:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
12:12:06 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:12:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:12:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
12:12:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:12:07 User actions detected.
12:12:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:12:07 Dome is MaxDome
12:12:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:12:07 Imager is ASCOM
12:12:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:12:07 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250207@120852 UTC
12:12:07 Imager readout modes:
12:12:07   0 is Fast
12:12:07   1 is Normal
12:12:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:12:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:12:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:12:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:12:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:12:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:12:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:12:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:12:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
