Licensed to Arne Henden
02:55:29 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:55:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:55:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:55:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:55:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:55:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:55:30 User actions detected.
02:55:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:55:30 Dome is MaxDome
02:55:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:55:30 Imager is ASCOM
02:55:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:55:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230109@025253 UTC
02:55:30 Imager readout modes:
02:55:30   0 is Fast
02:55:30   1 is Normal
02:55:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:55:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:55:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:55:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:55:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:55:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:55:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:55:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:55:30 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:55:30 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
