Licensed to Arne Henden
02:36:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:36:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:36:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:36:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:36:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:36:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:36:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:36:43 Dome is MaxDome
02:36:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:36:43 Imager is ASCOM
02:36:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:36:43 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@023451 UTC
02:36:43 Imager readout modes:
02:36:43   0 is Fast
02:36:43   1 is Normal
02:36:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:36:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:36:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:36:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:36:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:36:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:36:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:36:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:36:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
