This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
09:32:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:32:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:32:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:32:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:32:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:32:14 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:32:14 User actions detected.
09:32:14 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:32:14 Dome is MaxDome
09:32:14 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:32:14 Imager is ASCOM
09:32:14 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:32:14 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221227@093137 UTC
09:32:14 Imager readout modes:
09:32:14   0 is Fast
09:32:14   1 is Normal
09:32:14 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:32:14 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:32:14 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:32:14 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:32:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:32:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:32:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:32:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:32:14 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:32:14 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
