09:44:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:44:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:44:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:44:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:44:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:44:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:44:28 User actions detected.
09:44:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:44:28 Dome is MaxDome
09:44:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:44:29 Imager is ASCOM
09:44:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:44:29 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250629@094315 UTC
09:44:29 Imager readout modes:
09:44:29   0 is Fast
09:44:29   1 is Normal
09:44:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:44:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:44:29 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:44:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:44:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:44:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:44:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:44:36 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:44:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
