This is ACP version 9.2 (build 1, ACP 9.2.1 (Production))
Licensed to Arne Henden
09:52:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:52:32 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:52:32   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:52:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:52:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:52:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:52:33 User actions detected.
09:52:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:52:33 Dome is MaxDome
09:52:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:52:33 Imager is ASCOM
09:52:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:52:33 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20250114@095202 UTC
09:52:33 Imager readout modes:
09:52:33   0 is Fast
09:52:33   1 is Normal
09:52:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:52:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:52:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:52:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:52:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:52:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:52:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:52:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:52:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
