07:41:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
07:41:50 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
07:41:50 Dome is MaxDome
07:41:50 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
07:41:50 Imager is QSI Universal
07:41:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:41:50 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20180923@071926 UTC
07:41:50 Imager readout modes:
07:41:50   0 is Image Quality
07:41:50 Autoguiding is disabled
07:41:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:42:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
07:42:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
07:42:03 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:42:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:42:03 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
07:42:03 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
07:42:03 This is AcquireImages V8.1.0
07:42:03 Hardware pier side reporting is available.
