Licensed to Arne Henden
10:56:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:56:24 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:56:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:56:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:56:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:56:25 User actions detected.
10:56:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:56:25 Dome is MaxDome
10:56:25 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:56:25 Imager is ASCOM
10:56:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:56:25 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230203@105351 UTC
10:56:25 Imager readout modes:
10:56:25   0 is Fast
10:56:25   1 is Normal
10:56:25 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:56:25 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:56:25 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:56:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:56:25 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:56:25 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:56:25 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:56:25 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
