02:12:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:12:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:12:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:12:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:12:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:12:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:12:32 User actions detected.
02:12:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:12:32 Dome is MaxDome
02:12:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:12:32 Imager is ASCOM
02:12:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:12:32 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230109@020535 UTC
02:12:32 Imager readout modes:
02:12:32   0 is Fast
02:12:32   1 is Normal
02:12:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:12:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:12:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:12:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:12:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:12:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:12:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:12:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:12:32 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:12:32 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
