Licensed to Arne Henden
05:50:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:50:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:50:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:50:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:50:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:50:21 User actions detected.
05:50:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:50:21 Dome is MaxDome
05:50:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:50:21 Imager is ASCOM
05:50:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:50:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230110@054608 UTC
05:50:21 Imager readout modes:
05:50:21   0 is Fast
05:50:21   1 is Normal
05:50:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:50:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:50:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:50:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:50:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:50:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:50:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:50:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:50:21 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:50:21 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
