03:46:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:46:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:46:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:46:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:46:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:46:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:46:28 User actions detected.
03:46:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:46:28 Dome is MaxDome
03:46:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:46:28 Imager is ASCOM
03:46:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:46:28 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20221217@034215 UTC
03:46:28 Imager readout modes:
03:46:28   0 is Fast
03:46:28   1 is Normal
03:46:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:46:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:46:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:46:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:46:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:46:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:46:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:46:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:46:28 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:46:29 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
