Licensed to Arne Henden
02:18:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:18:37 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:18:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:18:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:18:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:18:38 User actions detected.
02:18:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:18:38 Dome is MaxDome
02:18:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:18:38 Imager is ASCOM
02:18:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:18:38 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230206@021509 UTC
02:18:38 Imager readout modes:
02:18:38   0 is Fast
02:18:38   1 is Normal
02:18:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:18:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:18:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:18:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:18:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:18:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:18:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:18:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
