This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:01:23 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:01:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:01:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:01:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:01:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:01:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:01:25 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:01:25 Dome is MaxDome
02:01:25 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:01:25 Imager is QSI Universal
02:01:25 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:01:25 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20181004@015855 UTC
02:01:25 Imager readout modes:
02:01:25   0 is Image Quality
02:01:25 Autoguiding is disabled
02:01:25 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:01:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:01:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:01:35 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:01:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:01:35 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:01:35 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
