This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
07:56:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:56:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:56:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:56:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:56:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:56:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:56:23 User actions detected.
07:56:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:56:23 Dome is MaxDome
07:56:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:56:23 Imager is ASCOM
07:56:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:56:23 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240704@075542 UTC
07:56:23 Imager readout modes:
07:56:23   0 is Fast
07:56:23   1 is Normal
07:56:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:56:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:56:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:56:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:56:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:56:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:56:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:56:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:56:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
