Licensed to Arne Henden
07:55:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:55:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:55:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:55:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:55:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:55:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:55:59 User actions detected.
07:55:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:55:59 Dome is MaxDome
07:55:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:55:59 Imager is ASCOM
07:55:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:55:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221222@074546 UTC
07:55:59 Imager readout modes:
07:55:59   0 is Fast
07:55:59   1 is Normal
07:55:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:55:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:55:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:55:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:55:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:55:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:55:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:55:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:55:59 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:55:59 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
