This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
11:21:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:21:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:21:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:21:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:21:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:21:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:21:27 User actions detected.
11:21:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:21:27 Dome is MaxDome
11:21:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:21:27 Imager is ASCOM
11:21:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:21:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20221227@112053 UTC
11:21:27 Imager readout modes:
11:21:27   0 is Fast
11:21:27   1 is Normal
11:21:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:21:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:21:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:21:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:21:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:21:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:21:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:21:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:21:27 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:21:27 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
