Licensed to Arne Henden
02:00:23 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:00:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:00:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:00:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:00:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:00:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:00:25 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:00:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:00:26 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:00:26 Imager is QSI Universal
02:00:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:00:26 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180930@015752 UTC
02:00:26 Imager readout modes:
02:00:26   0 is Image Quality
02:00:26 Autoguiding is disabled
02:00:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:00:36 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:00:36 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:00:36 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:00:36 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:00:36 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:00:36 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
