This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:29:27 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:29:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:29:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:29:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:29:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:29:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:29:30 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:29:30 Dome is MaxDome
02:29:30 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:29:30 Imager is QSI Universal
02:29:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:29:30 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180914@022653 UTC
02:29:30 Imager readout modes:
02:29:30   0 is Image Quality
02:29:30 Autoguiding is disabled
02:29:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:29:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:29:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:29:40 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:29:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:29:40 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:29:40 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
