04:41:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:41:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:41:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:41:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:41:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:41:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:41:32 Dome is MaxDome
04:41:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:41:32 Imager is ASCOM
04:41:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:41:32 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20231013@043723 UTC
04:41:32 Imager readout modes:
04:41:32   0 is Fast
04:41:32   1 is Normal
04:41:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:41:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:41:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:41:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:41:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:41:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:41:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:41:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:41:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
04:41:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:41:32 Pointing updates are enabled
04:41:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:41:32   Start slew to M56_V6...

04:41:53   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
