04:53:06 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
04:53:06 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:53:06   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:53:06 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:53:07 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
04:53:07 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:53:07 User actions detected.
04:53:07 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:53:07 Dome is MaxDome
04:53:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:53:07 Imager is ASCOM
04:53:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:53:07 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250614@045128 UTC
04:53:07 Imager readout modes:
04:53:07   0 is Fast
04:53:07   1 is Normal
04:53:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:53:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:53:07 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
04:53:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:53:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:53:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:53:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
