Licensed to Arne Henden
05:43:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:43:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:43:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:43:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:43:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:43:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:43:24 User actions detected.
05:43:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:43:24 Dome is MaxDome
05:43:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:43:24 Imager is ASCOM
05:43:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:43:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221227@054250 UTC
05:43:24 Imager readout modes:
05:43:24   0 is Fast
05:43:24   1 is Normal
05:43:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:43:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:43:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:43:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:43:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:43:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:43:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:43:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:43:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:43:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
