12:38:02 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
12:38:02 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:38:02 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:38:03 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
12:38:03 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:38:03 User actions detected.
12:38:03 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:38:03 Dome is MaxDome
12:38:04 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
12:38:04 Imager is QSI Universal
12:38:04 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:38:04 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210205@123143 UTC
12:38:04 Imager readout modes:
12:38:04   0 is Image Quality
12:38:04 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:38:04 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
12:38:04 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:38:04 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:38:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
12:38:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
12:38:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:38:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:38:09 ACPS Observation CH_Cyg(1 of 1)
12:38:09   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver1899, Plan CH_Cyg)
12:38:09   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:38:09 Pointing updates are enabled
12:38:09   Start slew to CH_Cyg...
12:38:11   (wait for slew to complete)
12:38:51   (slew complete)
12:38:51   Calling TargetStart user action.

12:38:51   Switching from I to V filter for pointing exposure
12:38:51   Focus change of 74 steps required
12:38:55   (taking 10 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 4)
