Licensed to Arne Henden
02:33:41 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:33:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:33:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:33:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:33:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:33:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:33:43 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:33:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:33:44 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:33:44 Imager is QSI Universal
02:33:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:33:44 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20181011@023115 UTC
02:33:44 Imager readout modes:
02:33:44   0 is Image Quality
02:33:44 Autoguiding is disabled
02:33:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:33:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:33:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:33:54 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:33:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:33:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:33:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
