Licensed to Arne Henden
04:38:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:38:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:38:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:38:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:38:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:38:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:38:42 User actions detected.
04:38:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:38:42 Dome is MaxDome
04:38:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:38:42 Imager is ASCOM
04:38:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:38:42 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230113@042638 UTC
04:38:42 Imager readout modes:
04:38:42   0 is Fast
04:38:42   1 is Normal
04:38:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:38:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:38:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:38:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:38:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:38:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:38:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:38:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:38:42 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:38:42 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
