Licensed to Arne Henden
08:47:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:47:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:47:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:47:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:47:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:47:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:47:26 User actions detected.
08:47:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:47:26 Dome is MaxDome
08:47:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:47:26 Imager is ASCOM
08:47:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:47:26 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240710@084612 UTC
08:47:26 Imager readout modes:
08:47:26   0 is Fast
08:47:26   1 is Normal
08:47:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:47:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:47:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:47:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:47:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:47:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:47:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:47:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:47:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
