Licensed to Arne Henden
09:51:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:51:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:51:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:51:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:51:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:51:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:51:39 User actions detected.
09:51:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:51:39 Dome is MaxDome
09:51:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:51:39 Imager is ASCOM
09:51:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:51:39 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240710@095100 UTC
09:51:39 Imager readout modes:
09:51:39   0 is Fast
09:51:39   1 is Normal
09:51:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:51:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:51:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:51:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:51:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:51:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:51:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:51:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:51:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
