This is ACP version 8.1 (build 2, Product Version 8.1.1)
Licensed to Arne Henden
02:23:55 This is AcquireScheduler V8.1.0
02:23:56 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:23:56   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=120 AF=180 PU=60]
02:23:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:23:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
02:23:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:23:57 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
02:23:58 Dome is MaxDome
02:23:58 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
02:23:58 Imager is QSI Universal
02:23:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:23:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20190301@022126 UTC
02:23:58 Imager readout modes:
02:23:58   0 is Image Quality
02:23:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:23:58 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:23:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:23:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:24:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
02:24:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
02:24:08 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:24:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:24:08 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
02:24:08 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
