05:46:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:46:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:46:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:46:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:46:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:46:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:46:57 User actions detected.
05:46:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:46:57 Dome is MaxDome
05:46:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:46:57 Imager is ASCOM
05:46:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:46:57 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250207@054554 UTC
05:46:57 Imager readout modes:
05:46:57   0 is Fast
05:46:57   1 is Normal
05:46:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:46:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:46:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:46:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:46:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:47:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:47:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:47:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:47:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
