09:57:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:57:14 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:57:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:57:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:57:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:57:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:57:15 Dome is MaxDome
09:57:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:57:15 Imager is ASCOM
09:57:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:57:15 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250610@095634 UTC
09:57:15 Imager readout modes:
09:57:15   0 is Fast
09:57:15   1 is Normal
09:57:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:57:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:57:15 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:57:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:57:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:57:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:57:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:57:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:57:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
