Licensed to Arne Henden
08:10:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:10:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:10:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:10:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:10:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:10:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:10:31 User actions detected.
08:10:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:10:31 Dome is MaxDome
08:10:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:10:32 Imager is ASCOM
08:10:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:10:32 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240704@080653 UTC
08:10:32 Imager readout modes:
08:10:32   0 is Fast
08:10:32   1 is Normal
08:10:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:10:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:10:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:10:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:10:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:10:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:10:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:10:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:10:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
