This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:42:16 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:42:16 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:42:16   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:42:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:42:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:42:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:42:17 User actions detected.
02:42:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:42:17 Dome is MaxDome
02:42:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:42:17 Imager is ASCOM
02:42:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:42:17 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230106@024101 UTC
02:42:17 Imager readout modes:
02:42:17   0 is Fast
02:42:17   1 is Normal
02:42:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:42:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:42:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:42:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:42:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:42:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:42:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:42:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:42:17 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:42:17 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
