10:36:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:36:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:36:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:36:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:36:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:36:32 User actions detected.
10:36:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:36:32 Dome is MaxDome
10:36:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:36:32 Imager is ASCOM
10:36:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:36:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240711@103528 UTC
10:36:32 Imager readout modes:
10:36:32   0 is Fast
10:36:32   1 is Normal
10:36:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:36:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:36:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:36:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:36:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:36:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:36:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:36:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:36:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:36:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V630_Cas)
10:36:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:36:32 Pointing updates are enabled
10:36:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:36:32   Start slew to V630_Cas...
10:36:34   (wait for slew to complete)

10:36:48   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:36:48   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:36:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:36:52   (using Fast readout mode)
