This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
10:20:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:20:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:20:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:20:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:20:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:20:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:20:13 User actions detected.
10:20:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:20:13 Dome is MaxDome
10:20:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:20:13 Imager is ASCOM
10:20:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:20:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240625@101603 UTC
10:20:13 Imager readout modes:
10:20:13   0 is Fast
10:20:13   1 is Normal
10:20:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:20:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:20:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:20:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:20:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:20:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:20:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:20:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:20:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
