11:09:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:09:26 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:09:26   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:09:26 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:09:27 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:09:27 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:09:27 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:09:27 Dome is MaxDome
11:09:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:09:27 Imager is ASCOM
11:09:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:09:27 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240223@110735 UTC
11:09:27 Imager readout modes:
11:09:27   0 is Fast
11:09:27   1 is Normal
11:09:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:09:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:09:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:09:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:09:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:09:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:09:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:09:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:09:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:09:27 ==== Starting target NGC_6402 ====
11:09:27 ACPS Observation NGC_6402(1 of 1)
11:09:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6402)
11:09:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
