11:01:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
11:01:37 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:01:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:01:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:01:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:01:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:01:38 Dome is MaxDome
11:01:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:01:39 Imager is ASCOM
11:01:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:01:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250524@110106 UTC
11:01:39 Imager readout modes:
11:01:39   0 is Fast
11:01:39   1 is Normal
11:01:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:01:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:01:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:01:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:01:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:01:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:01:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:01:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:01:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
