Licensed to Arne Henden
06:28:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:28:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:28:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:28:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:28:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:28:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:28:52 User actions detected.
06:28:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:28:52 Dome is MaxDome
06:28:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:28:53 Imager is ASCOM
06:28:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:28:53 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@061837 UTC
06:28:53 Imager readout modes:
06:28:53   0 is Fast
06:28:53   1 is Normal
06:28:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:28:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:28:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:28:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:28:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:28:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:28:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:28:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:28:53 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:28:53 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
