11:20:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:20:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:20:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:20:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:20:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:20:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:20:49 User actions detected.
11:20:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:20:49 Dome is MaxDome
11:20:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:20:50 Imager is ASCOM
11:20:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:20:50 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221222@111450 UTC
11:20:50 Imager readout modes:
11:20:50   0 is Fast
11:20:50   1 is Normal
11:20:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:20:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:20:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:20:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:20:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:20:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:20:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:20:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:20:50 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:20:50 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
