02:01:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:01:59 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:01:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:02:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:02:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:02:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:02:00 Dome is MaxDome
02:02:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:02:00 Imager is ASCOM
02:02:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:02:00 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250224@020127 UTC
02:02:00 Imager readout modes:
02:02:00   0 is Fast
02:02:00   1 is Normal
02:02:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:02:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:02:00 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:02:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:02:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:02:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:02:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:02:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:02:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
