11:47:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
11:47:21 Custom image file path/names are in use
11:47:21   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
11:47:21 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:47:22 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
11:47:22 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:47:22 User actions detected.
11:47:22 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:47:22 Dome is MaxDome
11:47:22 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:47:22 Imager is ASCOM
11:47:22 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:47:22 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20250114@114651 UTC
11:47:22 Imager readout modes:
11:47:22   0 is Fast
11:47:22   1 is Normal
11:47:22 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:47:22 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:47:22 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:47:22 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:47:22 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:47:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:47:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:47:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:47:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

11:48:31   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:48:31   No focus change required
11:48:31   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:48:31   (using Fast readout mode)

11:48:57   [sync] pointing model updated
11:48:57   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:48:57   Target is now centered.
