This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
10:16:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:16:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:16:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:16:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:16:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:16:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:16:52 User actions detected.
10:16:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:16:52 Dome is MaxDome
10:16:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:16:52 Imager is ASCOM
10:16:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:16:52 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230109@101541 UTC
10:16:52 Imager readout modes:
10:16:52   0 is Fast
10:16:52   1 is Normal
10:16:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:16:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:16:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:16:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:16:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:16:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:16:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:16:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:16:52 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
10:16:52 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
10:16:52 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====
10:16:52 ACPS Observation HQ_Mon(1 of 1)
10:16:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3394, Plan HQ_Mon)
