Licensed to Arne Henden
09:30:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:30:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:30:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:30:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:30:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:30:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:30:59 User actions detected.
09:30:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:30:59 Dome is MaxDome
09:30:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:30:59 Imager is ASCOM
09:30:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:30:59 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240726@092743 UTC
09:30:59 Imager readout modes:
09:30:59   0 is Fast
09:30:59   1 is Normal
09:30:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:30:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:30:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:30:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:30:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:30:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:30:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:30:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:30:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
