03:51:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.1.1
03:51:43 User actions detected.
03:51:43 ** Images will always be calibrated and raw images
03:51:43 ** will contain full FITS info (for AAVSONet)
03:51:43 Telescope is ACP->ACP->TMO61, driver V3
03:51:43 Dome is MaxDome
03:51:43 MaxIm DL is version 5.24
03:51:43 Imager is QSI Universal
03:51:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:51:43 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20181103@024622 UTC
03:51:43 Imager readout modes:
03:51:44   0 is Image Quality
03:51:44 Autoguiding is disabled
03:51:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:51:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.33 V = 0.33
03:51:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 18.4 V = 13.8
03:51:54 Plate solving With GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:51:54 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:51:54 All-sky plate solving will be attempted when needed
03:51:54 All-sky service at nova.astrometry.net will be used
03:51:54 This is AcquireImages V8.1.0
03:51:54 Hardware pier side reporting is available.
