This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:46:01 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:46:01 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:46:01   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:46:01 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:46:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:46:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:46:02 User actions detected.
06:46:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:46:02 Dome is MaxDome
06:46:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:46:02 Imager is ASCOM
06:46:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:46:02 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230110@064106 UTC
06:46:02 Imager readout modes:
06:46:02   0 is Fast
06:46:02   1 is Normal
06:46:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:46:02 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:46:02 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:46:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:46:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:46:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:46:02 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:46:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:46:02 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:46:02 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
