Licensed to Arne Henden
05:13:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:13:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:13:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:13:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:13:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:13:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:13:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:13:08 Dome is MaxDome
05:13:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:13:08 Imager is ASCOM
05:13:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:13:08 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250526@051058 UTC
05:13:08 Imager readout modes:
05:13:08   0 is Fast
05:13:08   1 is Normal
05:13:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:13:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:13:08 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:13:08 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:13:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:13:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:13:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:13:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:13:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
