Licensed to Arne Henden
11:03:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:03:44 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:03:44   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:03:44 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:03:45 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:03:45 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:03:45 User actions detected.
11:03:45 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:03:45 Dome is MaxDome
11:03:45 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:03:45 Imager is ASCOM
11:03:45 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:03:45 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20221227@110309 UTC
11:03:45 Imager readout modes:
11:03:45   0 is Fast
11:03:45   1 is Normal
11:03:45 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:03:45 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:03:45 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:03:45 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:03:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:03:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:03:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:03:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:03:45 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:03:45 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
