04:31:49 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:31:49 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:31:49 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:31:50 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:31:50 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:31:50 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:31:50 Dome is MaxDome
04:31:51 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:31:51 Imager is ASCOM
04:31:51 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:31:51 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240328@043108 UTC
04:31:51 Imager readout modes:
04:31:51   0 is Fast
04:31:51   1 is Normal
04:31:51 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:31:51 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:31:51 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:31:51 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:31:51 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:31:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:31:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:31:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:31:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:31:51   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan Mrk_180)
04:31:51   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:31:51 Pointing updates are enabled
04:31:51 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

04:33:02   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:33:02   Focus change of -290 steps required
