Licensed to Arne Henden
03:35:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:35:52 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:35:52   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:35:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:35:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:35:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:35:54 User actions detected.
03:35:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:35:54 Dome is MaxDome
03:35:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:35:54 Imager is ASCOM
03:35:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:35:54 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230113@032645 UTC
03:35:54 Imager readout modes:
03:35:54   0 is Fast
03:35:54   1 is Normal
03:35:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:35:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:35:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:35:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:35:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:35:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:35:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:35:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:35:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:35:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
