12:10:02 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
12:10:02 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:10:02   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
12:10:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:10:04 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
12:10:04 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:10:04 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
12:10:04 Dome is MaxDome
12:10:04 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
12:10:04 Imager is QSI Universal
12:10:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:10:04 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20190127@112444 UTC
12:10:04 Imager readout modes:
12:10:04   0 is Image Quality
12:10:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:10:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:10:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:10:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:10:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
12:10:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
12:10:14 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:10:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:10:14 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
12:10:14 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
