Licensed to Arne Henden
05:10:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:10:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:10:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:10:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:10:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:10:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:10:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:10:12 Dome is MaxDome
05:10:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:10:12 Imager is ASCOM
05:10:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:10:12 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@050937 UTC
05:10:12 Imager readout modes:
05:10:12   0 is Fast
05:10:12   1 is Normal
05:10:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:10:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:10:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:10:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:10:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:10:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:10:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:10:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:10:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
