04:41:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:41:30 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:41:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:41:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:41:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:41:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:41:31 Dome is MaxDome
04:41:31 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:41:31 Imager is ASCOM
04:41:31 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:41:31 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240311@044014 UTC
04:41:31 Imager readout modes:
04:41:31   0 is Fast
04:41:31   1 is Normal
04:41:31 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:41:31 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:41:31 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:41:31 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:41:31 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:41:31 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:41:31 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:41:31 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:41:31 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:41:31 ==== Starting target BX_Pup ====
04:41:31 ACPS Observation BX_Pup(1 of 1)
04:41:31   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan BX_Pup)
04:41:31   (turning on sidereal tracking)
