This is ACP version 9.0 (build 4, ACP 9 Production Release)
Licensed to Arne Henden
05:35:23 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:35:23 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:35:23   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:35:23 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:35:24 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:35:24 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:35:24 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:35:24 Dome is MaxDome
05:35:24 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:35:24 Imager is ASCOM
05:35:24 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:35:24 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240311@053413 UTC
05:35:24 Imager readout modes:
05:35:24   0 is Fast
05:35:24   1 is Normal
05:35:24 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:35:24 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:35:24 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:35:24 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:35:24 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:35:24 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:35:24 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:35:24 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:35:24 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:35:24 ==== Starting target 3C_279 ====
05:35:24 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
05:35:24   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver2706, Plan 3C_279)
05:35:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:35:24 Pointing updates are enabled
05:35:24 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:35:24   (wait for slew to complete)
05:35:28   (slew complete)
05:35:28   Start slew to 3C_279...
05:35:29   (wait for slew to complete)
05:35:39   (slew complete)
05:35:39   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
