08:47:03 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
08:47:04 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:47:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:47:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
08:47:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:47:05 User actions detected.
08:47:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:47:05 Dome is MaxDome
08:47:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
08:47:05 Imager is ASCOM
08:47:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:47:05 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20220325@084317 UTC
08:47:06 Imager readout modes:
08:47:06   0 is Fast
08:47:06   1 is Normal
08:47:06 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:47:06 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
08:47:06 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
08:47:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:47:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
08:47:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
08:47:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:47:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:47:11 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
08:47:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan X_Ser)
08:47:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:47:11 Pointing updates are enabled
