This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:29:54 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:29:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:29:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:29:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:29:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:29:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:29:57 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:29:58 Dome is MaxDome
02:29:58 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:29:58 Imager is QSI Universal
02:29:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:29:58 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180908@022722 UTC
02:29:58 Imager readout modes:
02:29:58   0 is Image Quality
02:29:58 Autoguiding is disabled
02:29:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:30:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:30:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:30:08 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:30:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:30:08 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:30:08 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
