Licensed to Arne Henden
07:37:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:37:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:37:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:37:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:37:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:37:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:37:50 User actions detected.
07:37:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:37:50 Dome is MaxDome
07:37:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:37:51 Imager is ASCOM
07:37:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:37:51 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240726@073557 UTC
07:37:51 Imager readout modes:
07:37:51   0 is Fast
07:37:51   1 is Normal
07:37:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:37:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:37:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:37:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:37:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:37:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:37:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:37:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:37:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
