Licensed to Arne Henden
04:30:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:30:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:30:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:30:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:30:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:30:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:30:31 User actions detected.
04:30:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:30:31 Dome is MaxDome
04:30:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:30:31 Imager is ASCOM
04:30:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:30:31 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230120@042942 UTC
04:30:31 Imager readout modes:
04:30:31   0 is Fast
04:30:31   1 is Normal
04:30:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:30:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:30:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:30:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:30:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:30:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:30:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:30:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:30:32 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:30:32 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
