10:58:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:58:48 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:58:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:58:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:49 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:49 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:49 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250524@105814 UTC
10:58:49 Imager readout modes:
10:58:49   0 is Fast
10:58:49   1 is Normal
10:58:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
