02:07:54 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:07:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:07:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:07:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:07:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:07:56 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:07:56 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:07:56 Dome is MaxDome
02:07:56 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:07:56 Imager is QSI Universal
02:07:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:07:56 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180926@020525 UTC
02:07:56 Imager readout modes:
02:07:56   0 is Image Quality
02:07:56 Autoguiding is disabled
02:07:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:08:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:08:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:08:06 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:08:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:08:06 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:08:06 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
