Licensed to Arne Henden
05:31:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:31:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:31:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:31:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:31:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:31:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:31:39 User actions detected.
05:31:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:31:39 Dome is MaxDome
05:31:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:31:39 Imager is ASCOM
05:31:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:31:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230105@052028 UTC
05:31:39 Imager readout modes:
05:31:39   0 is Fast
05:31:39   1 is Normal
05:31:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:31:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:31:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:31:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:31:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:31:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:31:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:31:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:31:39 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:31:39 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
