Licensed to Arne Henden
06:10:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:10:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:10:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:10:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:10:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:10:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:10:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:10:26 Dome is MaxDome
06:10:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:10:27 Imager is ASCOM
06:10:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:10:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@060634 UTC
06:10:27 Imager readout modes:
06:10:27   0 is Fast
06:10:27   1 is Normal
06:10:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:10:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:10:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:10:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:10:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:10:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:10:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:10:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:10:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:10:27 ==== Starting target BX_Pup ====
06:10:27 ACPS Observation BX_Pup(1 of 1)
06:10:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan BX_Pup)
