Licensed to Arne Henden
12:50:22 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
12:50:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:50:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:50:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:50:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:50:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:50:23 User actions detected.
12:50:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:50:23 Dome is MaxDome
12:50:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
12:50:24 Imager is QSI Universal
12:50:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:50:24 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20210117@124822 UTC
12:50:24 Imager readout modes:
12:50:24   0 is Image Quality
12:50:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:50:24 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:50:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:50:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:50:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:50:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:50:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:50:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
