09:46:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:46:06 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:46:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:46:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:46:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:46:07 User actions detected.
09:46:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:46:07 Dome is MaxDome
09:46:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:46:07 Imager is ASCOM
09:46:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:46:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@094438 UTC
09:46:07 Imager readout modes:
09:46:07   0 is Fast
09:46:07   1 is Normal
09:46:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:46:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:46:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:46:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:46:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:46:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:46:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:46:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:46:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
