Licensed to Arne Henden
07:13:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:13:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:13:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:13:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:13:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:13:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:13:33 User actions detected.
07:13:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:13:33 Dome is MaxDome
07:13:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:13:33 Imager is ASCOM
07:13:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:13:33 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221217@071031 UTC
07:13:33 Imager readout modes:
07:13:33   0 is Fast
07:13:33   1 is Normal
07:13:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:13:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:13:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:13:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:13:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:13:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:13:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:13:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:13:33 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:13:33 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
