This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
09:33:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:33:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:33:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:33:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:33:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:33:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:33:34 User actions detected.
09:33:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:33:35 Dome is MaxDome
09:33:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:33:35 Imager is ASCOM
09:33:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:33:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240704@093205 UTC
09:33:35 Imager readout modes:
09:33:35   0 is Fast
09:33:35   1 is Normal
09:33:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:33:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:33:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:33:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:33:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:33:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:33:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:33:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:33:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
