Licensed to Arne Henden
01:26:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:26:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:26:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:26:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:26:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:26:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:26:57 User actions detected.
01:26:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:26:57 Dome is MaxDome
01:26:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:26:58 Imager is ASCOM
01:26:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:26:58 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230108@012627 UTC
01:26:58 Imager readout modes:
01:26:58   0 is Fast
01:26:58   1 is Normal
01:26:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:26:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:26:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:26:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:26:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:26:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:26:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:26:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:26:58 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
01:26:58 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
