Licensed to Arne Henden
11:27:46 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:27:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:27:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:27:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:27:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:27:47 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:27:47 User actions detected.
11:27:47 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:27:47 Dome is MaxDome
11:27:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:27:47 Imager is ASCOM
11:27:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:27:47 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@112602 UTC
11:27:47 Imager readout modes:
11:27:47   0 is Fast
11:27:47   1 is Normal
11:27:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:27:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:27:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:27:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:27:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:27:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:27:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:27:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:27:47 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:27:47 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
