10:33:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:33:20 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:33:20   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:33:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:33:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:33:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:33:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:33:21 Dome is MaxDome
10:33:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:33:22 Imager is ASCOM
10:33:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:33:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250605@103245 UTC
10:33:22 Imager readout modes:
10:33:22   0 is Fast
10:33:22   1 is Normal
10:33:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:33:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:33:22 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:33:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:33:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:33:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:33:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:33:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:33:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
