This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
04:51:35 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
04:51:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:51:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
04:51:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:51:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
04:51:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:51:39 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
04:51:39 Dome is MaxDome
04:51:39 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
04:51:39 Imager is QSI Universal
04:51:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:51:39 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180906@044915 UTC
04:51:39 Imager readout modes:
04:51:39   0 is Image Quality
04:51:39 Autoguiding is disabled
04:51:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:51:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
04:51:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
04:51:52 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:51:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:51:52 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
04:51:52 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
