Licensed to Arne Henden
09:32:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:32:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:32:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:32:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:32:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:32:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:32:29 User actions detected.
09:32:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:32:29 Dome is MaxDome
09:32:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:32:29 Imager is ASCOM
09:32:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:32:29 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240714@093148 UTC
09:32:29 Imager readout modes:
09:32:29   0 is Fast
09:32:29   1 is Normal
09:32:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:32:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:32:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:32:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:32:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:32:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:32:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:32:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:32:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
