Licensed to Arne Henden
02:26:17 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:26:17 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:26:17   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:26:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:26:18 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:26:18 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:26:18 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:26:19 Dome is MaxDome
02:26:19 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:26:19 Imager is QSI Universal
02:26:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:26:19 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20181011@022351 UTC
02:26:19 Imager readout modes:
02:26:19   0 is Image Quality
02:26:19 Autoguiding is disabled
02:26:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:26:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:26:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:26:29 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:26:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:26:29 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:26:29 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
