Licensed to Arne Henden
09:02:27 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:02:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:02:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:02:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:02:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:02:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:02:28 User actions detected.
09:02:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:02:28 Dome is MaxDome
09:02:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:02:28 Imager is ASCOM
09:02:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:02:28 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240704@090019 UTC
09:02:28 Imager readout modes:
09:02:28   0 is Fast
09:02:28   1 is Normal
09:02:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:02:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:02:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:02:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:02:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:02:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:02:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:02:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:02:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
