07:20:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:20:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:20:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:20:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:20:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:20:09 User actions detected.
07:20:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:20:09 Dome is MaxDome
07:20:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:20:09 Imager is ASCOM
07:20:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:20:09 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250207@071832 UTC
07:20:09 Imager readout modes:
07:20:09   0 is Fast
07:20:09   1 is Normal
07:20:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:20:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:20:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:20:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:20:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:20:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:20:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:20:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:20:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
