06:14:02 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:14:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:14:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:14:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:14:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:14:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:14:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:14:03 Dome is MaxDome
06:14:03 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:14:03 Imager is ASCOM
06:14:03 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:14:03 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@061233 UTC
06:14:03 Imager readout modes:
06:14:03   0 is Fast
06:14:03   1 is Normal
06:14:03 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:14:03 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:14:03 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:14:03 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:14:03 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:14:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:14:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:14:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:14:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
