This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:27:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:27:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:27:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:27:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:27:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:27:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:27:44 User actions detected.
06:27:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:27:44 Dome is MaxDome
06:27:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:27:44 Imager is ASCOM
06:27:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:27:44 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230129@062515 UTC
06:27:44 Imager readout modes:
06:27:44   0 is Fast
06:27:44   1 is Normal
06:27:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:27:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:27:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:27:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:27:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:27:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:27:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:27:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:27:44 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:27:44 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
