Licensed to Arne Henden
08:33:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:33:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:33:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:33:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:33:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:33:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:33:06 User actions detected.
08:33:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:33:07 Dome is MaxDome
08:33:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:33:07 Imager is ASCOM
08:33:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:33:07 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240704@083028 UTC
08:33:07 Imager readout modes:
08:33:07   0 is Fast
08:33:07   1 is Normal
08:33:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:33:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:33:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:33:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:33:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:33:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:33:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:33:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:33:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
