10:30:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:30:09 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:30:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:30:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:30:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:30:10 User actions detected.
10:30:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:30:10 Dome is MaxDome
10:30:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:30:10 Imager is ASCOM
10:30:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:30:10 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250704@102938 UTC
10:30:10 Imager readout modes:
10:30:10   0 is Fast
10:30:10   1 is Normal
10:30:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:30:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:30:10 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:30:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:30:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:30:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:30:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:30:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:30:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
