10:03:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:03:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:03:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:03:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:03:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:03:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:03:17 User actions detected.
10:03:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:03:17 Dome is MaxDome
10:03:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:03:18 Imager is ASCOM
10:03:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:03:18 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250614@100018 UTC
10:03:18 Imager readout modes:
10:03:18   0 is Fast
10:03:18   1 is Normal
10:03:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:03:18 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:03:18 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:03:18 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:03:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:03:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:03:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:03:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:03:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
