Licensed to Arne Henden
05:00:47 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
05:00:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:00:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
05:00:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:00:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
05:00:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:00:51 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
05:00:51 Dome is MaxDome
05:00:51 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
05:00:51 Imager is QSI Universal
05:00:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:00:51 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180905@045816 UTC
05:00:51 Imager readout modes:
05:00:51   0 is Image Quality
05:00:51 Autoguiding is disabled
05:00:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:01:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
05:01:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
05:01:01 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:01:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:01:01 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
05:01:01 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
