Licensed to Arne Henden
02:33:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:33:34 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:33:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:33:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:33:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:33:35 User actions detected.
02:33:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:33:35 Dome is MaxDome
02:33:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:33:35 Imager is ASCOM
02:33:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:33:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20230206@022247 UTC
02:33:35 Imager readout modes:
02:33:35   0 is Fast
02:33:35   1 is Normal
02:33:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:33:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:33:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:33:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:33:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:33:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:33:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
