Licensed to Arne Henden
02:35:47 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:35:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:35:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:35:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:35:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:35:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:35:49 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:35:49 Dome is MaxDome
02:35:50 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:35:50 Imager is QSI Universal
02:35:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:35:50 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180909@023321 UTC
02:35:50 Imager readout modes:
02:35:50   0 is Image Quality
02:35:50 Autoguiding is disabled
02:35:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:36:00 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:36:00 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:36:00 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:36:00 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:36:00 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:36:00 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
