This is ACP version 9.2 (build 1, ACP 9.2.1 (Production))
Licensed to Arne Henden
03:34:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:34:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:34:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:34:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:34:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:34:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:34:15 User actions detected.
03:34:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:34:15 Dome is MaxDome
03:34:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:34:15 Imager is ASCOM
03:34:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:34:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250124@033340 UTC
03:34:15 Imager readout modes:
03:34:15   0 is Fast
03:34:15   1 is Normal
03:34:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:34:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:34:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:34:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:34:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:34:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:34:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:34:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:34:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
