Licensed to Arne Henden
03:26:36 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
03:26:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:26:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:26:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
03:26:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:26:37 User actions detected.
03:26:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:26:37 Dome is MaxDome
03:26:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
03:26:37 Imager is QSI Universal
03:26:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:26:37 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20210209@032352 UTC
03:26:37 Imager readout modes:
03:26:37   0 is Image Quality
03:26:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:26:37 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:26:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:26:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:26:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
03:26:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
03:26:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:26:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
