10:47:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:47:44 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:47:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:47:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:47:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:47:45 User actions detected.
10:47:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:47:45 Dome is MaxDome
10:47:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:47:45 Imager is ASCOM
10:47:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:47:45 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250623@102630 UTC
10:47:45 Imager readout modes:
10:47:45   0 is Fast
10:47:45   1 is Normal
10:47:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:47:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:47:45 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:47:45 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:47:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:47:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:47:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:47:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:47:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
