10:14:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:14:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:14:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:14:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:14:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:14:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:14:31 Dome is MaxDome
10:14:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:14:31 Imager is ASCOM
10:14:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:14:31 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250605@101327 UTC
10:14:31 Imager readout modes:
10:14:31   0 is Fast
10:14:31   1 is Normal
10:14:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:14:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:14:31 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:14:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:14:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:14:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:14:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:14:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:14:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
