Licensed to Arne Henden
07:32:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:32:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:32:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:32:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:32:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:32:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:32:09 User actions detected.
07:32:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:32:09 Dome is MaxDome
07:32:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:32:09 Imager is ASCOM
07:32:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:32:09 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230105@073033 UTC
07:32:09 Imager readout modes:
07:32:09   0 is Fast
07:32:09   1 is Normal
07:32:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:32:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:32:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:32:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:32:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:32:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:32:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:32:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:32:09 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:32:09 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
