Licensed to Arne Henden
02:22:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:22:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:22:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:22:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:22:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:22:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:22:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:22:33 Dome is MaxDome
02:22:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:22:33 Imager is ASCOM
02:22:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:22:33 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240223@022048 UTC
02:22:33 Imager readout modes:
02:22:33   0 is Fast
02:22:33   1 is Normal
02:22:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:22:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:22:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:22:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:22:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:22:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:22:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:22:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:22:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
