Licensed to Arne Henden
09:03:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:03:21 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:03:21   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:03:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:03:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:03:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:03:22 User actions detected.
09:03:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:03:22 Dome is MaxDome
09:03:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:03:22 Imager is ASCOM
09:03:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:03:22 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230129@090155 UTC
09:03:22 Imager readout modes:
09:03:22   0 is Fast
09:03:22   1 is Normal
09:03:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:03:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:03:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:03:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:03:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:03:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:03:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:03:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:03:22 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
09:03:22 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
