Licensed to Arne Henden
01:52:03 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:52:03 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:52:03 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:52:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:52:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:52:04 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:52:04 Dome is MaxDome
01:52:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:52:04 Imager is ASCOM
01:52:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:52:04 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240118@015130 UTC
01:52:04 Imager readout modes:
01:52:04   0 is Fast
01:52:04   1 is Normal
01:52:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:52:04 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:52:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:52:04 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:52:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:52:04 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:52:04 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:52:04 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:52:04 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

01:53:20   (using Fast readout mode)
01:53:20   (starting exposure)
01:53:45   (exposure complete)
