08:31:41 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
08:31:41 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:31:41   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:31:41 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:31:42 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
08:31:42 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:31:42 User actions detected.
08:31:42 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:31:42 Dome is MaxDome
08:31:42 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:31:42 Imager is ASCOM
08:31:42 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:31:42 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20250206@082954 UTC
08:31:42 Imager readout modes:
08:31:42   0 is Fast
08:31:42   1 is Normal
08:31:42 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:31:42 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:31:42 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:31:42 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:31:42 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:31:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:31:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:31:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:31:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

08:32:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
08:32:30   (using Fast readout mode)

08:32:59   [sync] pointing model updated
08:32:59   Re-slew to target.
08:32:59   Start slew to U_Leo...
08:33:01   (wait for slew to complete)
08:33:10   (slew complete)
08:33:10   Target is now centered.
08:33:10   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:33:10   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:33:10   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
08:33:10   Focus change of 290 steps required
