This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:07:49 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:07:49 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:07:49   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:07:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:07:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:07:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:07:52 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:07:52 Dome is MaxDome
02:07:52 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:07:52 Imager is QSI Universal
02:07:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:07:52 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180930@020524 UTC
02:07:52 Imager readout modes:
02:07:52   0 is Image Quality
02:07:52 Autoguiding is disabled
02:07:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:08:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:08:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:08:03 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:08:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:08:03 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:08:03 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
