This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
12:35:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:35:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:35:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:35:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:35:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:35:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:35:24 User actions detected.
12:35:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:35:24 Dome is MaxDome
12:35:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:35:24 Imager is ASCOM
12:35:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:35:24 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230108@123302 UTC
12:35:24 Imager readout modes:
12:35:24   0 is Fast
12:35:24   1 is Normal
12:35:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:35:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:35:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:35:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:35:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:35:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:35:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:35:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:35:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:35:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
