Licensed to Arne Henden
11:25:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:25:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:25:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:25:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:25:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:25:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:25:11 User actions detected.
11:25:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:25:11 Dome is MaxDome
11:25:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:25:11 Imager is ASCOM
11:25:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:25:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230110@111803 UTC
11:25:11 Imager readout modes:
11:25:11   0 is Fast
11:25:11   1 is Normal
11:25:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:25:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:25:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:25:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:25:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:25:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:25:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:25:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:25:11 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:25:11 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
