03:40:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:40:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:40:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:40:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:40:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:40:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:40:31 Dome is MaxDome
03:40:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:40:31 Imager is ASCOM
03:40:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:40:31 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@033912 UTC
03:40:31 Imager readout modes:
03:40:31   0 is Fast
03:40:31   1 is Normal
03:40:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:40:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:40:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:40:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:40:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:40:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:40:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:40:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:40:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:40:31 ==== Starting target HQ_Mon ====

03:41:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:41:19   (using Fast readout mode)
03:41:19   (starting exposure)
03:41:45   (exposure complete)
