This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
13:04:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
13:04:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
13:04:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
13:04:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
13:04:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
13:04:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:04:05 User actions detected.
13:04:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
13:04:05 Dome is MaxDome
13:04:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
13:04:05 Imager is ASCOM
13:04:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:04:05 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20221227@130334 UTC
13:04:05 Imager readout modes:
13:04:05   0 is Fast
13:04:05   1 is Normal
13:04:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
13:04:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
13:04:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
13:04:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:04:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
13:04:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
13:04:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:04:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
13:04:06 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
13:04:06 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
