Licensed to Arne Henden
02:38:13 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:38:13 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:38:13 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:38:14 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:38:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:38:15 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:38:15 Dome is MaxDome
02:38:16 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:38:16 Imager is QSI Universal
02:38:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:38:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180929@023500 UTC
02:38:16 Imager readout modes:
02:38:16   0 is Image Quality
02:38:16 Autoguiding is disabled
02:38:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:38:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:38:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:38:29 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:38:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:38:29 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:38:29 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
