Licensed to Arne Henden
08:02:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:02:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:02:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:02:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:02:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:02:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:02:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:02:25 Dome is MaxDome
08:02:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:02:25 Imager is ASCOM
08:02:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:02:25 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@080011 UTC
08:02:25 Imager readout modes:
08:02:25   0 is Fast
08:02:25   1 is Normal
08:02:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:02:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:02:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:02:25 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:02:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:02:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:02:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:02:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:02:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
