Licensed to Arne Henden
04:08:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:08:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:08:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:08:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:08:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:08:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:08:46 User actions detected.
04:08:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:08:46 Dome is MaxDome
04:08:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:08:46 Imager is ASCOM
04:08:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:08:46 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230129@040728 UTC
04:08:46 Imager readout modes:
04:08:46   0 is Fast
04:08:46   1 is Normal
04:08:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:08:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:08:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:08:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:08:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:08:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:08:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:08:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:08:46 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:08:46 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
