Licensed to Arne Henden
07:29:13 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:29:13 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:29:13   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:29:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:29:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:29:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:29:14 User actions detected.
07:29:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:29:14 Dome is MaxDome
07:29:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:29:14 Imager is ASCOM
07:29:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:29:14 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221217@072601 UTC
07:29:14 Imager readout modes:
07:29:14   0 is Fast
07:29:14   1 is Normal
07:29:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:29:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:29:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:29:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:29:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:29:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:29:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:29:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:29:14 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:29:14 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
