07:11:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
07:11:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:11:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:11:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:11:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
07:11:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:11:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:11:37 Dome is MaxDome
07:11:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:11:38 Imager is ASCOM
07:11:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:11:38 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250526@071006 UTC
07:11:38 Imager readout modes:
07:11:38   0 is Fast
07:11:38   1 is Normal
07:11:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:11:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:11:38 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
07:11:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:11:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:11:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:11:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:11:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:11:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
