This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
08:27:04 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:27:04 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:27:04   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:27:04 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:27:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:27:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:27:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:27:05 Dome is MaxDome
08:27:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:27:05 Imager is ASCOM
08:27:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:27:05 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240127@082408 UTC
08:27:05 Imager readout modes:
08:27:05   0 is Fast
08:27:05   1 is Normal
08:27:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:27:05 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:27:05 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:27:05 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:27:06 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:27:06 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:27:06 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:27:06 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:27:06 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:27:06 ==== Starting target 3C_279 ====
08:27:06 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
08:27:06   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver2706, Plan 3C_279)
08:27:06   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:27:06 Pointing updates are enabled
08:27:06 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:27:06   (3C_279 within tolerance, no slew needed)
08:27:06   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
08:27:06     [flip check:  Tn=460s HAc=-11558s GW=T HAz=-11097s DWz=T WF=no]
08:27:06   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:27:06   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:27:06   Switching from SU to R filter for imaging
08:27:06   Focus change of 270 steps required
