12:58:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:58:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:58:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:58:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:58:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:58:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:58:26 User actions detected.
12:58:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:58:26 Dome is MaxDome
12:58:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:58:26 Imager is ASCOM
12:58:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:58:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230122@125753 UTC
12:58:26 Imager readout modes:
12:58:26   0 is Fast
12:58:26   1 is Normal
12:58:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:58:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:58:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:58:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:58:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:58:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:58:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:58:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:58:26 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:58:26 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
