Licensed to Arne Henden
03:10:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:10:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:10:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:10:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:10:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:10:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:10:24 User actions detected.
03:10:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:10:24 Dome is MaxDome
03:10:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:10:25 Imager is ASCOM
03:10:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:10:25 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230108@030930 UTC
03:10:25 Imager readout modes:
03:10:25   0 is Fast
03:10:25   1 is Normal
03:10:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:10:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:10:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:10:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:10:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:10:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:10:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:10:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:10:25 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:10:25 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
