Licensed to Arne Henden
08:14:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:14:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:14:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:14:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:14:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:14:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:14:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:14:06 Dome is MaxDome
08:14:06 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:14:06 Imager is ASCOM
08:14:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:14:06 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250526@081329 UTC
08:14:06 Imager readout modes:
08:14:06   0 is Fast
08:14:06   1 is Normal
08:14:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:14:06 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:14:06 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
08:14:06 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:14:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:14:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:14:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:14:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:14:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
