Licensed to Arne Henden
09:15:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:15:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:15:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:15:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:15:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:15:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:15:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:15:30 Dome is MaxDome
09:15:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:15:30 Imager is ASCOM
09:15:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:15:30 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250526@091453 UTC
09:15:30 Imager readout modes:
09:15:30   0 is Fast
09:15:30   1 is Normal
09:15:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:15:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:15:30 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:15:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:15:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:15:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:15:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:15:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:15:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
