09:12:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:12:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:12:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:12:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:12:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:12:31 User actions detected.
09:12:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:12:31 Dome is MaxDome
09:12:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:12:31 Imager is ASCOM
09:12:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:12:31 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250704@090649 UTC
09:12:31 Imager readout modes:
09:12:31   0 is Fast
09:12:31   1 is Normal
09:12:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:12:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:12:31 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
09:12:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:12:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:12:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:12:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:12:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:12:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
