Licensed to Arne Henden
07:34:35 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
07:34:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:34:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:34:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:34:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
07:34:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:34:36 User actions detected.
07:34:36 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:34:36 Dome is MaxDome
07:34:36 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
07:34:36 Imager is ASCOM
07:34:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:34:36 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220208@073134 UTC
07:34:36 Imager readout modes:
07:34:36   0 is Fast
07:34:36   1 is Normal
07:34:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:34:36 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:34:36 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
07:34:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:34:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
07:34:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
07:34:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:34:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:34:42 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
07:34:42   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
