This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:01:53 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
06:01:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:01:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
06:01:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:01:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
06:01:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:01:56 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
06:01:57 Dome is MaxDome
06:01:57 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
06:01:57 Imager is QSI Universal
06:01:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:01:57 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180904@055926 UTC
06:01:57 Imager readout modes:
06:01:57   0 is Image Quality
06:01:57 Autoguiding is disabled
06:01:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:02:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
06:02:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
06:02:07 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:02:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:02:07 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:02:07 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
