09:05:55 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:05:55 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:05:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:05:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:05:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:05:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:05:57 Dome is MaxDome
09:05:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:05:57 Imager is ASCOM
09:05:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:05:57 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@090525 UTC
09:05:57 Imager readout modes:
09:05:57   0 is Fast
09:05:57   1 is Normal
09:05:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:05:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:05:57 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:05:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:05:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:06:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:06:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:06:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:06:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
