Licensed to Arne Henden
02:38:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:38:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:38:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:38:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:38:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:38:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:38:10 User actions detected.
02:38:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:38:10 Dome is MaxDome
02:38:10 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:38:10 Imager is ASCOM
02:38:10 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:38:10 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20250124@023534 UTC
02:38:10 Imager readout modes:
02:38:10   0 is Fast
02:38:10   1 is Normal
02:38:10 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:38:10 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:38:10 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:38:10 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:38:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:38:18 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:38:18 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:38:18 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:38:18 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
