This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
13:01:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
13:01:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
13:01:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
13:01:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
13:01:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
13:01:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:01:41 User actions detected.
13:01:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
13:01:41 Dome is MaxDome
13:01:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
13:01:41 Imager is ASCOM
13:01:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:01:41 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20221227@130105 UTC
13:01:41 Imager readout modes:
13:01:41   0 is Fast
13:01:41   1 is Normal
13:01:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
13:01:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
13:01:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
13:01:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:01:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
13:01:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
13:01:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:01:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
13:01:41 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
13:01:41 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
