This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:05:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:05:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:05:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:05:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:05:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:05:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:05:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:05:12 Dome is MaxDome
03:05:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:05:12 Imager is ASCOM
03:05:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:05:12 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20231013@030150 UTC
03:05:12 Imager readout modes:
03:05:12   0 is Fast
03:05:12   1 is Normal
03:05:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:05:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:05:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:05:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:05:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:05:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:05:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:05:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
