This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:58:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:58:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:58:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:58:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:58:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:58:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:58:24 User actions detected.
02:58:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:58:24 Dome is MaxDome
02:58:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:58:24 Imager is ASCOM
02:58:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:58:24 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221226@025704 UTC
02:58:24 Imager readout modes:
02:58:24   0 is Fast
02:58:24   1 is Normal
02:58:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:58:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:58:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:58:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:58:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:58:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:58:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:58:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:58:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:58:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
