Licensed to Arne Henden
09:56:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:56:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:56:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:56:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:56:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:56:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:56:57 User actions detected.
09:56:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:56:57 Dome is MaxDome
09:56:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:56:57 Imager is ASCOM
09:56:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:56:57 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230108@094951 UTC
09:56:57 Imager readout modes:
09:56:57   0 is Fast
09:56:57   1 is Normal
09:56:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:56:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:56:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:56:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:56:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:56:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:56:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:56:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:56:57 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:56:57 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
