Licensed to Arne Henden
06:33:52 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
06:33:52 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:33:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:33:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
06:33:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:33:54 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
06:33:54 Dome is MaxDome
06:33:54 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
06:33:54 Imager is QSI Universal
06:33:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:33:54 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20180904@063219 UTC
06:33:55 Imager readout modes:
06:33:55   0 is Image Quality
06:33:55 Autoguiding is disabled
06:33:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:34:05 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
06:34:05 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
06:34:05 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:34:05 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:34:05 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
06:34:05 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
