11:52:49 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
11:52:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:52:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:52:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:52:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
11:52:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:52:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:52:51 Dome is MaxDome
11:52:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
11:52:52 Imager is QSI Universal
11:52:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:52:52 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20201011@112416 UTC
11:52:52 Imager readout modes:
11:52:52   0 is Image Quality
11:52:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:52:52 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:52:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:52:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:52:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
11:52:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
11:52:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:52:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
