09:25:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:25:57 Custom image file path/names are in use

09:25:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:25:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:25:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:25:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:25:58 Dome is MaxDome
09:25:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:25:58 Imager is ASCOM
09:25:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:25:58 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240328@092438 UTC
09:25:58 Imager readout modes:
09:25:58   0 is Fast
09:25:58   1 is Normal
09:25:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:25:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:25:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:25:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:25:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:25:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:25:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:25:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:25:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
09:25:58 ==== Starting target NGC_6093 ====
09:25:58 ACPS Observation NGC_6093(1 of 1)
09:25:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_6093)
09:25:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:25:59 Pointing updates are enabled
09:25:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:25:59   Start slew to NGC_6093...
