This is ACP version 9.2 (build 1, ACP 9.2.1 (Production))
Licensed to Arne Henden
09:20:05 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:20:05 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:20:05   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:20:05 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:20:06 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:20:06 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:20:06 User actions detected.
09:20:06 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:20:06 Dome is MaxDome
09:20:07 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:20:07 Imager is ASCOM
09:20:07 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:20:07 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250114@091631 UTC
09:20:07 Imager readout modes:
09:20:07   0 is Fast
09:20:07   1 is Normal
09:20:07 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:20:07 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:20:07 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:20:07 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:20:07 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:20:14 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:20:14 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:20:14 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:20:14 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:20:14 ACPS Observation 3C_279(1 of 1)
09:20:14   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_OAR_AUTO_ver2706, Plan 3C_279)
09:20:14   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:20:14 Pointing updates are enabled
09:20:14 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
09:20:14   Start slew to 3C_279...
09:20:16   (wait for slew to complete)
09:20:25   (slew complete)
09:20:25   Calling TargetStart user action.
09:20:25 Project Priority is: undefined
09:20:25   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)
