03:40:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:40:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:40:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:40:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:40:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:40:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:40:10 User actions detected.
03:40:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:40:10 Dome is MaxDome
03:40:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:40:10 Imager is ASCOM
03:40:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:40:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250207@033705 UTC
03:40:10 Imager readout modes:
03:40:10   0 is Fast
03:40:10   1 is Normal
03:40:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:40:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:40:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:40:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:40:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:40:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:40:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:40:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:40:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
