08:09:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:09:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:09:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:09:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:09:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:09:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:09:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:09:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:09:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:09:42 Imager is ASCOM
08:09:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:09:42 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20231013@080438 UTC
08:09:42 Imager readout modes:
08:09:42   0 is Fast
08:09:42   1 is Normal
08:09:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:09:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:09:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:09:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:09:42 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:09:42 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:09:42 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:09:42 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:10:19   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
08:10:19   Focus change of -320 steps required
08:10:23   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:10:23   (using Fast readout mode)
08:10:23   (starting exposure)
08:10:48   (exposure complete)
