This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:24:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:24:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:24:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:24:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:24:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:24:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:24:13 User actions detected.
02:24:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:24:13 Dome is MaxDome
02:24:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:24:13 Imager is ASCOM
02:24:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:24:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230109@021333 UTC
02:24:13 Imager readout modes:
02:24:13   0 is Fast
02:24:13   1 is Normal
02:24:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:24:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:24:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:24:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:24:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:24:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:24:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:24:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:24:13 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:24:13 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
