Licensed to Arne Henden
11:17:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:17:17 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:17:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:17:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:17:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:17:19 User actions detected.
11:17:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:17:19 Dome is MaxDome
11:17:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:17:19 Imager is ASCOM
11:17:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:17:19 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230305@111141 UTC
11:17:19 Imager readout modes:
11:17:19   0 is Fast
11:17:19   1 is Normal
11:17:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:17:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:17:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:17:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:17:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:17:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:17:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:17:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
