Licensed to Arne Henden
10:35:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:35:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:35:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:35:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:35:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:35:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:35:56 User actions detected.
10:35:56 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:35:56 Dome is MaxDome
10:35:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:35:56 Imager is ASCOM
10:35:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:35:56 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240708@103514 UTC
10:35:56 Imager readout modes:
10:35:56   0 is Fast
10:35:56   1 is Normal
10:35:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:35:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:35:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:35:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:35:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:35:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:35:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:35:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:35:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
