Licensed to Arne Henden
04:36:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:36:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:36:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:36:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:36:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:36:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:36:29 User actions detected.
04:36:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:36:29 Dome is MaxDome
04:36:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:36:29 Imager is ASCOM
04:36:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:36:29 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230108@043600 UTC
04:36:30 Imager readout modes:
04:36:30   0 is Fast
04:36:30   1 is Normal
04:36:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:36:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:36:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:36:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:36:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:36:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:36:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:36:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:36:30 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:36:30 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
