This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
01:58:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:58:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:58:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:58:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:58:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:58:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:58:53 User actions detected.
01:58:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:58:53 Dome is MaxDome
01:58:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:58:53 Imager is ASCOM
01:58:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:58:53 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230113@014756 UTC
01:58:53 Imager readout modes:
01:58:53   0 is Fast
01:58:53   1 is Normal
01:58:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:58:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:58:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:58:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:58:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:58:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:58:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:58:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:58:53 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
01:58:53 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
