Licensed to Arne Henden
03:20:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:20:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:20:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:20:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:20:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:20:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:20:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:20:23 Dome is MaxDome
03:20:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:20:23 Imager is ASCOM
03:20:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:20:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@031647 UTC
03:20:23 Imager readout modes:
03:20:23   0 is Fast
03:20:23   1 is Normal
03:20:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:20:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:20:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:20:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:20:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:20:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:20:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:20:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:20:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
