Licensed to Arne Henden
03:24:23 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
03:24:23 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:24:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:24:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
03:24:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:24:24 User actions detected.
03:24:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:24:24 Dome is MaxDome
03:24:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
03:24:24 Imager is ASCOM
03:24:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:24:25 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220513@025047 UTC
03:24:25 Imager readout modes:
03:24:25   0 is Fast
03:24:25   1 is Normal
03:24:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:24:25 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
03:24:25 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
03:24:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:24:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
03:24:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
03:24:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:24:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
