10:37:42 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:37:43 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:37:43 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:37:43 User actions detected.
10:37:43 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:37:44 Dome is MaxDome
10:37:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:37:44 Imager is ASCOM
10:37:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:37:44 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240704@103725 UTC
10:37:44 Imager readout modes:
10:37:44   0 is Fast
10:37:44   1 is Normal
10:37:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:37:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:37:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:37:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:37:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:37:44 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:37:44 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:37:44 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:37:44 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:37:44   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:37:44 Pointing updates are enabled
10:37:44 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:37:44   Start slew to NSV_11154...
10:37:45   (wait for slew to complete)
10:38:16   (slew complete)
10:38:16   Calling TargetStart user action.

10:38:16   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:38:16   Focus change of -270 steps required
10:38:19   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:38:19   (using Fast readout mode)
