Licensed to Arne Henden
07:10:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:10:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:10:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:10:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:10:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:10:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:10:52 User actions detected.
07:10:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:10:52 Dome is MaxDome
07:10:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:10:52 Imager is ASCOM
07:10:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:10:52 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230105@071012 UTC
07:10:52 Imager readout modes:
07:10:52   0 is Fast
07:10:52   1 is Normal
07:10:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:10:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:10:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:10:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:10:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:10:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:10:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:10:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:10:55 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:10:55 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
