This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:25:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:25:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:25:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:25:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:25:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:25:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:25:05 User actions detected.
04:25:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:25:05 Dome is MaxDome
04:25:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:25:05 Imager is ASCOM
04:25:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:25:05 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230110@042435 UTC
04:25:05 Imager readout modes:
04:25:05   0 is Fast
04:25:05   1 is Normal
04:25:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:25:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:25:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:25:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:25:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:25:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:25:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:25:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:25:05 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:25:05 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
