03:58:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:58:54 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:58:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:58:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:58:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:58:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:58:55 Dome is MaxDome
03:58:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:58:55 Imager is ASCOM
03:58:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:58:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@035836 UTC
03:58:55 Imager readout modes:
03:58:55   0 is Fast
03:58:55   1 is Normal
03:58:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:58:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:58:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:58:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:58:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:58:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:58:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:58:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:58:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:58:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan OI_158)
03:58:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:58:55 Pointing updates are enabled
03:58:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
