Licensed to Arne Henden
10:22:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:22:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:22:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:22:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:22:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:22:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:22:19 User actions detected.
10:22:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:22:19 Dome is MaxDome
10:22:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:22:19 Imager is ASCOM
10:22:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:22:19 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230110@101814 UTC
10:22:19 Imager readout modes:
10:22:19   0 is Fast
10:22:19   1 is Normal
10:22:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:22:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:22:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:22:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:22:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:22:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:22:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:22:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:22:19 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
10:22:19 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
