11:46:21 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:46:21 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:46:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:46:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:46:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:46:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:46:23 Dome is MaxDome
11:46:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:46:23 Imager is ASCOM
11:46:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:46:23 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240217@114431 UTC
11:46:23 Imager readout modes:
11:46:23   0 is Fast
11:46:23   1 is Normal
11:46:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:46:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:46:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:46:23 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:46:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:46:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:46:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:46:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:46:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:46:50   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:46:50   Focus change of -50 steps required
11:46:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:46:52   (using Fast readout mode)
11:46:52   (starting exposure)

11:47:25   Focus change of -360 steps required
11:47:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
11:47:40   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=507.4493 Y=568.3706
