02:12:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:12:37 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:12:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:12:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:12:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:12:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:12:39 Dome is MaxDome
02:12:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:12:39 Imager is ASCOM
02:12:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:12:39 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250224@021207 UTC
02:12:39 Imager readout modes:
02:12:39   0 is Fast
02:12:39   1 is Normal
02:12:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:12:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:12:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:12:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:12:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:12:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:12:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:12:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:12:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
