This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
07:42:42 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:42:42 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:42:42   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:42:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:42:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:42:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:42:43 User actions detected.
07:42:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:42:43 Dome is MaxDome
07:42:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:42:43 Imager is ASCOM
07:42:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:42:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240726@074202 UTC
07:42:43 Imager readout modes:
07:42:43   0 is Fast
07:42:43   1 is Normal
07:42:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:42:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:42:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:42:43 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:42:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:42:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:42:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:42:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:42:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
