01:59:22 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
01:59:22 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:59:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:59:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
01:59:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:59:26 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
01:59:26 Dome is MaxDome
01:59:26 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
01:59:26 Imager is QSI Universal
01:59:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:59:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180926@015445 UTC
01:59:26 Imager readout modes:
01:59:26   0 is Image Quality
01:59:26 Autoguiding is disabled
01:59:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:59:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
01:59:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
01:59:36 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:59:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:59:36 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
01:59:36 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
