Licensed to Arne Henden
03:27:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:27:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:27:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:27:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:27:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:27:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:27:42 User actions detected.
03:27:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:27:42 Dome is MaxDome
03:27:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:27:42 Imager is ASCOM
03:27:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:27:42 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20230108@032500 UTC
03:27:42 Imager readout modes:
03:27:42   0 is Fast
03:27:42   1 is Normal
03:27:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:27:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:27:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:27:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:27:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:27:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:27:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:27:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:27:42 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:27:42 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
