Licensed to Arne Henden
12:26:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:26:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:26:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:26:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:26:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:26:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:26:54 User actions detected.
12:26:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:26:54 Dome is MaxDome
12:26:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:26:55 Imager is ASCOM
12:26:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:26:55 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230122@122411 UTC
12:26:55 Imager readout modes:
12:26:55   0 is Fast
12:26:55   1 is Normal
12:26:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:26:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:26:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:26:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:26:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:26:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:26:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:26:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:26:55 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:26:55 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
