07:15:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:15:08 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:15:08   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:15:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:15:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:15:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:15:10 User actions detected.
07:15:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:15:10 Dome is MaxDome
07:15:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:15:10 Imager is ASCOM
07:15:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:15:10 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230122@071335 UTC
07:15:10 Imager readout modes:
07:15:10   0 is Fast
07:15:10   1 is Normal
07:15:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:15:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:15:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:15:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:15:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:15:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:15:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:15:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:15:10 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:15:10 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
