Licensed to Arne Henden
10:53:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:53:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:53:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:53:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:53:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:53:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:53:16 User actions detected.
10:53:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:53:16 Dome is MaxDome
10:53:17 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:53:17 Imager is ASCOM
10:53:17 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:53:17 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240711@105242 UTC
10:53:17 Imager readout modes:
10:53:17   0 is Fast
10:53:17   1 is Normal
10:53:17 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:53:17 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:53:17 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:53:17 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:53:17 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:53:17 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:53:17 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:53:17 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:53:17 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
