Licensed to Arne Henden
04:13:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:13:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:13:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:13:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:13:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:13:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:13:37 User actions detected.
04:13:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:13:37 Dome is MaxDome
04:13:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:13:37 Imager is ASCOM
04:13:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:13:37 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20230109@035220 UTC
04:13:37 Imager readout modes:
04:13:37   0 is Fast
04:13:37   1 is Normal
04:13:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:13:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:13:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:13:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:13:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:13:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:13:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:13:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:13:37 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:13:37 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
