12:41:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:41:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:41:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:41:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:41:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:41:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:41:51 User actions detected.
12:41:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:41:51 Dome is MaxDome
12:41:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:41:51 Imager is ASCOM
12:41:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:41:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221226@123145 UTC
12:41:51 Imager readout modes:
12:41:51   0 is Fast
12:41:51   1 is Normal
12:41:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:41:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:41:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:41:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:41:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:41:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:41:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:41:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:41:51 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:41:51 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
