This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
06:09:30 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
06:09:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:09:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
06:09:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:09:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
06:09:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:09:34 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
06:09:34 Dome is MaxDome
06:09:37 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
06:09:37 Imager is QSI Universal
06:09:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:09:37 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180904@060704 UTC
06:09:37 Imager readout modes:
06:09:37   0 is Image Quality
06:09:37 Autoguiding is disabled
06:09:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:09:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
06:09:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
06:09:47 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:09:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:09:47 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:09:47 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
