08:09:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:09:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:09:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:09:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:09:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:09:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:09:05 User actions detected.
08:09:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:09:05 Dome is MaxDome
08:09:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:09:05 Imager is ASCOM
08:09:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:09:05 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221222@080107 UTC
08:09:05 Imager readout modes:
08:09:05   0 is Fast
08:09:05   1 is Normal
08:09:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:09:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:09:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:09:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:09:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:09:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:09:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:09:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:09:05 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
08:09:05 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
