Licensed to Arne Henden
11:16:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:16:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:16:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:16:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:16:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:16:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:16:23 User actions detected.
11:16:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:16:23 Dome is MaxDome
11:16:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:16:23 Imager is ASCOM
11:16:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:16:23 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20230110@110611 UTC
11:16:23 Imager readout modes:
11:16:23   0 is Fast
11:16:23   1 is Normal
11:16:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:16:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:16:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:16:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:16:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:16:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:16:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:16:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:16:23 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:16:23 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
