Licensed to Arne Henden
04:52:50 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
04:52:50 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:52:50   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
04:52:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:52:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
04:52:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:52:52 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
04:52:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:52:52 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
04:52:52 Imager is QSI Universal
04:52:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:52:52 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180829@045011 UTC
04:52:52 Imager readout modes:
04:52:52   0 is Image Quality
04:52:52 Autoguiding is disabled
04:52:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:53:02 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
04:53:02 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
04:53:02 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:53:02 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:53:02 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:53:02 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
