04:35:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:35:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:35:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:35:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:35:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:35:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:35:09 Dome is MaxDome
04:35:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:35:09 Imager is ASCOM
04:35:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:35:09 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240412@043433 UTC
04:35:09 Imager readout modes:
04:35:09   0 is Fast
04:35:09   1 is Normal
04:35:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:35:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:35:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:35:09 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:35:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:35:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:35:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:35:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:35:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:36:37   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:36:37   Focus change of -270 steps required
