Licensed to Arne Henden
11:42:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:42:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:42:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:42:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:42:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:42:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:42:31 User actions detected.
11:42:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:42:31 Dome is MaxDome
11:42:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:42:33 Imager is ASCOM
11:42:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:42:33 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230105@110928 UTC
11:42:33 Imager readout modes:
11:42:33   0 is Fast
11:42:33   1 is Normal
11:42:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:42:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:42:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:42:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:42:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:42:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:42:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:42:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:42:33 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:42:33 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
