11:54:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:54:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:54:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:54:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:54:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:54:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:54:24 User actions detected.
11:54:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:54:24 Dome is MaxDome
11:54:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:54:24 Imager is ASCOM
11:54:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:54:24 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230108@114434 UTC
11:54:24 Imager readout modes:
11:54:24   0 is Fast
11:54:24   1 is Normal
11:54:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:54:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:54:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:54:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:54:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:54:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:54:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:54:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:54:24 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:54:24 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
