This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:13:46 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:13:46 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:13:46   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:13:46 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:13:47 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:13:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:13:48 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:13:48 Dome is MaxDome
02:13:48 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:13:48 Imager is QSI Universal
02:13:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:13:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180914@021123 UTC
02:13:48 Imager readout modes:
02:13:48   0 is Image Quality
02:13:48 Autoguiding is disabled
02:13:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:13:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:13:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:13:58 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:13:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:13:58 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:13:58 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
