02:15:19 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:15:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:15:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:15:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:15:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:15:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:15:22 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:15:23 Dome is MaxDome
02:15:23 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:15:23 Imager is QSI Universal
02:15:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:15:23 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180926@021252 UTC
02:15:23 Imager readout modes:
02:15:23   0 is Image Quality
02:15:23 Autoguiding is disabled
02:15:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:15:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:15:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:15:33 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:15:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:15:33 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:15:33 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
