Licensed to Arne Henden
02:13:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:13:10 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:13:10   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:13:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:13:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:13:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:13:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:13:11 Dome is MaxDome
02:13:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:13:11 Imager is ASCOM
02:13:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:13:11 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240118@021148 UTC
02:13:11 Imager readout modes:
02:13:11   0 is Fast
02:13:11   1 is Normal
02:13:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:13:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:13:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:13:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:13:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:13:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:13:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:13:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:13:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
