Licensed to Arne Henden
09:48:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:48:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:48:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:48:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:48:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:48:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:48:42 User actions detected.
09:48:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:48:42 Dome is MaxDome
09:48:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:48:42 Imager is ASCOM
09:48:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:48:42 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240625@094509 UTC
09:48:42 Imager readout modes:
09:48:42   0 is Fast
09:48:42   1 is Normal
09:48:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:48:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:48:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:48:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:48:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:48:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:48:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:48:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:48:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
