Licensed to Arne Henden
06:37:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:37:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:37:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:37:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:37:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:37:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:37:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:37:05 Dome is MaxDome
06:37:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:37:05 Imager is ASCOM
06:37:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:37:05 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@063545 UTC
06:37:05 Imager readout modes:
06:37:05   0 is Fast
06:37:05   1 is Normal
06:37:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:37:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:37:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:37:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:37:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:37:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:37:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:37:05 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:37:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
