This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
08:40:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:40:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:40:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:40:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:40:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:40:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:40:37 User actions detected.
08:40:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:40:37 Dome is MaxDome
08:40:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:40:37 Imager is ASCOM
08:40:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:40:37 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240714@083747 UTC
08:40:37 Imager readout modes:
08:40:37   0 is Fast
08:40:37   1 is Normal
08:40:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:40:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:40:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:40:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:40:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:40:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:40:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:40:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:40:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
