10:01:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:01:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:01:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:01:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:01:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:01:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:01:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:01:53 Dome is MaxDome
10:01:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:01:54 Imager is ASCOM
10:01:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:01:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250526@100117 UTC
10:01:54 Imager readout modes:
10:01:54   0 is Fast
10:01:54   1 is Normal
10:01:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:01:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:01:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:01:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:01:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:02:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:02:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:02:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:02:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
