Licensed to Arne Henden
10:25:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:25:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:25:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:25:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:25:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:25:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:25:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:25:46 Dome is MaxDome
10:25:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:25:46 Imager is ASCOM
10:25:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:25:46 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@102414 UTC
10:25:46 Imager readout modes:
10:25:46   0 is Fast
10:25:46   1 is Normal
10:25:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:25:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:25:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:25:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:25:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:25:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:25:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:25:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:25:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:25:46 ACPS Observation M5-V84(1 of 1)
10:25:46   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P246_KPRB_AUTO_ver3426, Plan M5-V84)
10:25:46   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:25:46 Pointing updates are enabled
10:25:46 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:25:46   (M5-V84 within tolerance, no slew needed)
10:25:46   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
