Licensed to Arne Henden
05:18:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:18:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:18:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:18:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:18:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:18:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:18:35 User actions detected.
05:18:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:18:35 Dome is MaxDome
05:18:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:18:35 Imager is ASCOM
05:18:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:18:35 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240618@051643 UTC
05:18:35 Imager readout modes:
05:18:35   0 is Fast
05:18:35   1 is Normal
05:18:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:18:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:18:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:18:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:18:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:18:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:18:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:18:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:18:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
