This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:01:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:01:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:01:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:01:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:01:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:01:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:01:27 User actions detected.
06:01:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:01:27 Dome is MaxDome
06:01:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:01:27 Imager is ASCOM
06:01:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:01:27 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20221227@060046 UTC
06:01:27 Imager readout modes:
06:01:27   0 is Fast
06:01:27   1 is Normal
06:01:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:01:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:01:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:01:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:01:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:01:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:01:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:01:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:01:27 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:01:27 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
