Licensed to Arne Henden
03:41:48 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
03:41:48 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:41:48   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
03:41:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:41:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
03:41:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:41:50 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
03:41:51 Dome is MaxDome
03:41:51 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
03:41:51 Imager is QSI Universal
03:41:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:41:51 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180924@033921 UTC
03:41:51 Imager readout modes:
03:41:51   0 is Image Quality
03:41:51 Autoguiding is disabled
03:41:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:42:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
03:42:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
03:42:01 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:42:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:42:01 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:42:01 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
