06:17:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:17:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:17:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:17:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:17:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:17:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:17:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:17:50 Dome is MaxDome
06:17:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:17:51 Imager is ASCOM
06:17:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:17:51 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250526@061712 UTC
06:17:51 Imager readout modes:
06:17:51   0 is Fast
06:17:51   1 is Normal
06:17:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:17:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:17:51 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:17:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:17:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:17:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:17:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:17:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:17:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
