05:18:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:18:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:18:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:18:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:18:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:18:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:18:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:18:23 Dome is MaxDome
05:18:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:18:24 Imager is ASCOM
05:18:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:18:24 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@051746 UTC
05:18:24 Imager readout modes:
05:18:24   0 is Fast
05:18:24   1 is Normal
05:18:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:18:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:18:24 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:18:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:18:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:18:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:18:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:18:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:18:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
