Licensed to Arne Henden
09:23:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:23:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:23:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:23:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:23:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:23:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:23:54 User actions detected.
09:23:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:23:54 Dome is MaxDome
09:23:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:23:54 Imager is ASCOM
09:23:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:23:54 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240711@091857 UTC
09:23:54 Imager readout modes:
09:23:54   0 is Fast
09:23:54   1 is Normal
09:23:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:23:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:23:54 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:23:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:23:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:23:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:23:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:23:54 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:23:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
