Licensed to Arne Henden
10:27:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:27:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:27:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:27:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:27:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:27:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:27:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:27:35 Dome is MaxDome
10:27:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:27:35 Imager is ASCOM
10:27:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:27:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250610@102658 UTC
10:27:35 Imager readout modes:
10:27:35   0 is Fast
10:27:35   1 is Normal
10:27:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:27:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:27:35 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:27:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:27:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:27:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:27:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:27:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:27:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
