06:27:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
06:27:39 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:27:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:27:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
06:27:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:27:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:27:40 Dome is MaxDome
06:27:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:27:40 Imager is ASCOM
06:27:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:27:41 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@062622 UTC
06:27:41 Imager readout modes:
06:27:41   0 is Fast
06:27:41   1 is Normal
06:27:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:27:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:27:41 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
06:27:41 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:27:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:27:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:27:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:27:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:27:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
