10:11:18 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:11:18 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:11:18   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:11:18 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:11:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:11:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:11:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:11:19 Dome is MaxDome
10:11:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:11:19 Imager is ASCOM
10:11:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:11:19 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@094234 UTC
10:11:19 Imager readout modes:
10:11:19   0 is Fast
10:11:19   1 is Normal
10:11:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:11:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:11:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:11:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:11:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:11:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:11:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:11:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:11:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:11:19 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
10:11:19 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
10:11:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
10:11:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:11:19 Pointing updates are enabled
10:11:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:11:19   Start slew to X_Ser...
10:11:21   (wait for slew to complete)
10:12:31   (slew complete)

10:12:31   Updating pointing...
10:12:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:12:31   (using Fast readout mode)
10:12:31   (starting exposure)
10:12:46   (exposure complete)
10:12:48   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:12:49   Image finished
10:12:49   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:12:50   420 image stars found
10:12:50   193 catalog stars found
10:12:51   Solved! 59 stars matched.
10:12:51   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.

10:12:51   Start slew to X_Ser...
10:12:53   (wait for slew to complete)
10:13:03   (slew complete)
10:13:03   Target is now centered.
10:13:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:13:03   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
10:13:03   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:13:03   Focus change of 320 steps required
