This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:50:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:50:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:50:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:50:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:50:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:50:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:50:15 User actions detected.
06:50:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:50:16 Dome is MaxDome
06:50:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:50:16 Imager is ASCOM
06:50:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:50:16 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221222@064733 UTC
06:50:16 Imager readout modes:
06:50:16   0 is Fast
06:50:16   1 is Normal
06:50:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:50:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:50:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:50:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:50:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:50:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:50:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:50:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:50:16 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:50:16 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
