Licensed to Arne Henden
02:05:55 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:05:55 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:05:55 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:05:56 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:05:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:05:59 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:05:59 Dome is MaxDome
02:05:59 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:05:59 Imager is QSI Universal
02:05:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:05:59 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180918@024437 UTC
02:05:59 Imager readout modes:
02:05:59   0 is Image Quality
02:05:59 Autoguiding is disabled
02:05:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:06:10 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:06:10 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:06:10 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:06:10 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:06:10 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:06:10 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
