This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:22:04 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:22:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:22:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:22:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:22:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:22:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:22:06 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:22:06 Dome is MaxDome
02:22:06 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:22:06 Imager is QSI Universal
02:22:06 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:22:06 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180919@021936 UTC
02:22:06 Imager readout modes:
02:22:06   0 is Image Quality
02:22:06 Autoguiding is disabled
02:22:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:22:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:22:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:22:19 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:22:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:22:19 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:22:19 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
