05:27:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:27:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:27:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:27:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:27:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:27:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:27:51 Dome is MaxDome
05:27:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:27:51 Imager is ASCOM
05:27:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:27:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@052719 UTC
05:27:51 Imager readout modes:
05:27:51   0 is Fast
05:27:51   1 is Normal
05:27:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:27:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:27:51 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:27:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:27:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:27:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:27:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:27:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:27:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
