Licensed to Arne Henden
10:00:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:00:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:00:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:00:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:00:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:00:37 User actions detected.
10:00:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:00:37 Dome is MaxDome
10:00:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:00:37 Imager is ASCOM
10:00:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:00:37 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240710@095918 UTC
10:00:37 Imager readout modes:
10:00:37   0 is Fast
10:00:37   1 is Normal
10:00:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:00:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:00:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:00:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:00:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:00:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:00:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:00:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:00:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:00:37 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
10:00:37 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
10:00:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PV_Cep)
10:00:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:00:37 Pointing updates are enabled
10:00:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
