11:27:44 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:27:45 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:27:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:27:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:27:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:27:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:27:46 Dome is MaxDome
11:27:46 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:27:46 Imager is ASCOM
11:27:46 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:27:46 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240222@112603 UTC
11:27:46 Imager readout modes:
11:27:46   0 is Fast
11:27:46   1 is Normal
11:27:46 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:27:46 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:27:46 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:27:46 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:27:46 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:27:46 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:27:46 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:27:46 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:27:46 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:28:07   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:28:07   Focus change of 20 steps required
11:28:10   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:28:10   (using Fast readout mode)
11:28:10   (starting exposure)
