11:57:35 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
11:57:35 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:57:35   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
11:57:35 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:57:36 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
11:57:36 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:57:36 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
11:57:36 Dome is MaxDome
11:57:36 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
11:57:36 Imager is QSI Universal
11:57:36 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:57:36 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20190207@114043 UTC
11:57:36 Imager readout modes:
11:57:36   0 is Image Quality
11:57:36 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:57:36 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
11:57:36 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:57:36 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:57:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
11:57:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
11:57:46 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:57:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:57:46 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
11:57:46 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
