Licensed to Arne Henden
10:58:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:58:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:58:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:58:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:58:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:46 User actions detected.
10:58:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:46 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:46 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:47 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240705@105806 UTC
10:58:47 Imager readout modes:
10:58:47   0 is Fast
10:58:47   1 is Normal
10:58:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
