Licensed to Arne Henden
07:12:07 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:12:07 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:12:07   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:12:07 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:12:08 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:12:08 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:12:08 User actions detected.
07:12:08 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:12:08 Dome is MaxDome
07:12:08 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:12:08 Imager is ASCOM
07:12:08 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:12:08 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@070431 UTC
07:12:08 Imager readout modes:
07:12:08   0 is Fast
07:12:08   1 is Normal
07:12:08 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:12:08 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:12:08 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:12:08 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:12:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:12:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:12:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:12:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:12:08 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:12:08 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
