Licensed to Arne Henden
10:37:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:37:03 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:37:03   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:37:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:37:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:37:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:37:04 User actions detected.
10:37:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:37:04 Dome is MaxDome
10:37:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:37:05 Imager is ASCOM
10:37:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:37:05 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@103152 UTC
10:37:05 Imager readout modes:
10:37:05   0 is Fast
10:37:05   1 is Normal
10:37:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:37:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:37:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:37:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:37:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:37:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:37:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:37:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:37:05 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
10:37:05 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
