10:25:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:25:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:25:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:25:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:25:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:25:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:25:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:25:15 Dome is MaxDome
10:25:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:25:15 Imager is ASCOM
10:25:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:25:15 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250526@102146 UTC
10:25:15 Imager readout modes:
10:25:15   0 is Fast
10:25:15   1 is Normal
10:25:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:25:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:25:15 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:25:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:25:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:25:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:25:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:25:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:25:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
