10:56:41 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.5
10:56:41 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:56:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:56:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.2.10
10:56:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:56:42 User actions detected.
10:56:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:56:42 Dome is MaxDome
10:56:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.21
10:56:42 Imager is QSI Universal
10:56:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:56:42 Selecting filter I from previous ACP run at 20210225@105024 UTC
10:56:42 Imager readout modes:
10:56:42   0 is Image Quality
10:56:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:56:42 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
10:56:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:56:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:56:47 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.32 V = 0.32
10:56:47 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 17.8 V = 13.4
10:56:47 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:56:47 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:56:47 ACPS Observation CH_Cyg(1 of 1)
10:56:47   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver1939, Plan CH_Cyg)
10:56:47   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:56:47 Pointing updates are enabled
10:56:47   Start slew to CH_Cyg...
10:56:49   (wait for slew to complete)
10:57:30   (slew complete)
10:57:30   Calling TargetStart user action.
