05:39:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:39:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:39:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:39:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:39:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:39:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:39:01 Dome is MaxDome
05:39:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:39:01 Imager is ASCOM
05:39:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:39:01 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240222@053843 UTC
05:39:01 Imager readout modes:
05:39:01   0 is Fast
05:39:01   1 is Normal
05:39:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:39:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:39:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:39:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:39:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:39:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:39:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:39:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:39:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:39:38   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:39:38   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:39:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:39:42   (using Fast readout mode)
05:39:42   (starting exposure)

05:40:11   Start slew to L1022_IRS...
05:40:13   (wait for slew to complete)
05:40:23   (slew complete)
05:40:23   Target is now centered.
05:40:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:40:23   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:40:23   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
05:40:23   Focus change of 290 steps required
05:40:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
05:40:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1359.102 Y=471.2533
05:40:42   (guide star SNR=3.6 X=1360 Y=472)

05:41:09   Imaging to L1022_IRS_V_20240222_054109_T3
05:41:09   (taking 180 sec. exposure, V filter, binning = 2)
05:41:09   (using Normal readout mode)
05:41:14   (ex=2.77 ey=4.83)
05:41:14   (guider error n/a or too high, try #1)
