Licensed to Arne Henden
04:14:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:14:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:14:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:14:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:14:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:14:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:14:35 User actions detected.
04:14:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:14:35 Dome is MaxDome
04:14:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:14:35 Imager is ASCOM
04:14:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:14:35 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20221226@040706 UTC
04:14:35 Imager readout modes:
04:14:35   0 is Fast
04:14:35   1 is Normal
04:14:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:14:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:14:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:14:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:14:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:14:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:14:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:14:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:14:35 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:14:35 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
