Licensed to Arne Henden
03:32:26 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
03:32:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:32:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
03:32:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:32:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
03:32:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:32:28 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
03:32:29 Dome is MaxDome
03:32:29 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
03:32:29 Imager is QSI Universal
03:32:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:32:29 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180924@033005 UTC
03:32:29 Imager readout modes:
03:32:29   0 is Image Quality
03:32:29 Autoguiding is disabled
03:32:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:32:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
03:32:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
03:32:42 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:32:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:32:42 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:32:42 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
