08:48:40 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:48:40 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:48:40   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:48:40 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:48:41 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:48:41 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:48:41 User actions detected.
08:48:41 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:48:41 Dome is MaxDome
08:48:41 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:48:41 Imager is ASCOM
08:48:41 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:48:41 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230129@084612 UTC
08:48:41 Imager readout modes:
08:48:41   0 is Fast
08:48:41   1 is Normal
08:48:41 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:48:41 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:48:41 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:48:41 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:48:41 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:48:41 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:48:41 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:48:41 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:48:41 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
08:48:41 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
