Licensed to Arne Henden
10:23:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:23:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:23:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:23:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:23:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:23:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:23:49 User actions detected.
10:23:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:23:49 Dome is MaxDome
10:23:49 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:23:49 Imager is ASCOM
10:23:49 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:23:49 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230108@102045 UTC
10:23:49 Imager readout modes:
10:23:49   0 is Fast
10:23:49   1 is Normal
10:23:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:23:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:23:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:23:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:23:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:23:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:23:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:23:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:23:49 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
10:23:49 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
