Licensed to Arne Henden
01:40:51 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
01:40:51 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:40:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:40:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
01:40:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:40:52 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
01:40:52 Dome is MaxDome
01:40:52 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
01:40:52 Imager is QSI Universal
01:40:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:40:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20190131@013908 UTC
01:40:52 Imager readout modes:
01:40:52   0 is Image Quality
01:40:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:40:52 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
01:40:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:40:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:41:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
01:41:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
01:41:03 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:41:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:41:03 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
01:41:03 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
