This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:49:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:49:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:49:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:49:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:49:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:49:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:49:18 User actions detected.
04:49:18 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:49:19 Dome is MaxDome
04:49:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:49:21 Imager is ASCOM
04:49:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:49:21 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230105@044711 UTC
04:49:21 Imager readout modes:
04:49:21   0 is Fast
04:49:21   1 is Normal
04:49:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:49:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:49:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:49:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:49:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:49:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:49:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:49:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:49:21 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:49:21 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
