Licensed to Arne Henden
08:40:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:40:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:40:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:40:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:40:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:40:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:40:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:40:10 Dome is MaxDome
08:40:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:40:10 Imager is ASCOM
08:40:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:40:10 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240224@083837 UTC
08:40:10 Imager readout modes:
08:40:10   0 is Fast
08:40:10   1 is Normal
08:40:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:40:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:40:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:40:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:40:10 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:40:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:40:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:40:10 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:40:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:40:22   Switching from V to SG filter for imaging
