Licensed to Arne Henden
03:26:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:26:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:26:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:26:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:26:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:26:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:26:01 Dome is MaxDome
03:26:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:26:02 Imager is ASCOM
03:26:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:26:02 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250224@032155 UTC
03:26:02 Imager readout modes:
03:26:02   0 is Fast
03:26:02   1 is Normal
03:26:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:26:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:26:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:26:02 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:26:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:26:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:26:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:26:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:26:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
