06:53:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:53:19 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:53:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:53:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:53:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:53:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:53:20 Dome is MaxDome
06:53:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:53:21 Imager is ASCOM
06:53:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:53:21 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240222@065047 UTC
06:53:21 Imager readout modes:
06:53:21   0 is Fast
06:53:21   1 is Normal
06:53:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:53:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:53:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:53:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:53:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:53:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:53:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:53:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:53:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:53:21 ==== Starting target QX_Pup ====
06:53:21 ACPS Observation QX_Pup(1 of 1)
06:53:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QX_Pup)
06:53:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:53:21 Pointing updates are enabled
06:53:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:53:21   Start slew to QX_Pup...
06:53:23   (wait for slew to complete)

06:54:07   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:54:07   Focus change of -290 steps required
06:54:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:54:11   (using Fast readout mode)
06:54:11   (starting exposure)
