Licensed to Arne Henden
13:04:56 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
13:04:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
13:04:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
13:04:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
13:04:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
13:04:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
13:04:57 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
13:04:57 Dome is MaxDome
13:04:57 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
13:04:57 Imager is QSI Universal
13:04:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
13:04:57 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20190112@130231 UTC
13:04:57 Imager readout modes:
13:04:57   0 is Image Quality
13:04:57 Autoguiding is disabled
13:04:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
13:05:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
13:05:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
13:05:07 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
13:05:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
13:05:07 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
13:05:07 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
