This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
01:43:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:43:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:43:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:43:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:43:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:43:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:43:44 User actions detected.
01:43:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:43:44 Dome is MaxDome
01:43:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:43:44 Imager is ASCOM
01:43:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:43:44 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230109@014026 UTC
01:43:44 Imager readout modes:
01:43:44   0 is Fast
01:43:44   1 is Normal
01:43:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:43:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:43:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:43:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:43:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:43:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:43:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:43:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:43:44 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
01:43:44 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
