05:02:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:02:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:02:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:02:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:02:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:02:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:02:22 Dome is MaxDome
05:02:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:02:22 Imager is ASCOM
05:02:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:02:22 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@045808 UTC
05:02:22 Imager readout modes:
05:02:22   0 is Fast
05:02:22   1 is Normal
05:02:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:02:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:02:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:02:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:02:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:02:22 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:02:22 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:02:22 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:02:22 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:04:34   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:04:34   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:04:34   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:04:34   (using Fast readout mode)
05:04:34   (starting exposure)
05:05:00   (exposure complete)
