08:03:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:03:41 Custom image file path/names are in use

08:03:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:03:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:03:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:03:42 User actions detected.
08:03:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:03:43 Dome is MaxDome
08:03:43 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:03:43 Imager is ASCOM
08:03:43 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:03:43 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20230303@080107 UTC
08:03:43 Imager readout modes:
08:03:43   0 is Fast
08:03:43   1 is Normal
08:03:43 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:03:43 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:03:43 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:03:43 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:03:43 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:03:43 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:03:43 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:03:43 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:03:43 ==== Starting target IU_Leo ====
08:03:43 ACPS Observation IU_Leo(1 of 1)
08:03:43   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IU_Leo)
08:03:43   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:03:43 Pointing updates are enabled
08:03:43 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:03:43   Start slew to IU_Leo...
08:03:44   (wait for slew to complete)
08:04:35   (slew complete)
08:04:35   Calling TargetStart user action.

08:04:35   Updating pointing...
08:04:35   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:04:35   Focus change of 20 steps required
08:04:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:04:37   (using Fast readout mode)
08:04:37   (starting exposure)
08:04:54   (exposure complete)
08:04:56   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
08:04:57   Image finished
08:04:57   Plate-solve pointing image.
