09:49:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:49:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:49:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:49:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:49:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:49:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:49:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:49:15 Dome is MaxDome
09:49:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:49:15 Imager is ASCOM
09:49:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:49:15 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250610@094613 UTC
09:49:15 Imager readout modes:
09:49:15   0 is Fast
09:49:15   1 is Normal
09:49:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:49:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:49:15 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:49:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:49:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:49:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:49:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:49:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:49:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
