Licensed to Arne Henden
13:06:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
13:06:26 Custom image file path/names are in use

13:06:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
13:06:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
13:06:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:06:28 User actions detected.
13:06:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
13:06:28 Dome is MaxDome
13:06:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
13:06:28 Imager is ASCOM
13:06:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:06:28 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230108@125228 UTC
13:06:28 Imager readout modes:
13:06:28   0 is Fast
13:06:28   1 is Normal
13:06:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
13:06:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
13:06:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
13:06:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:06:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
13:06:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
13:06:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:06:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
13:06:28 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
13:06:28 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
