03:37:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:37:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:37:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:37:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:37:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:37:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:37:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:37:34 Dome is MaxDome
03:37:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:37:34 Imager is ASCOM
03:37:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:37:34 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250524@033557 UTC
03:37:34 Imager readout modes:
03:37:34   0 is Fast
03:37:34   1 is Normal
03:37:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:37:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:37:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:37:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:37:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:37:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:37:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:37:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:37:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
