02:10:43 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
02:10:43 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:10:43   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:10:43 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:10:44 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
02:10:44 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:10:44 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:10:44 Dome is MaxDome
02:10:44 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:10:44 Imager is ASCOM
02:10:44 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:10:44 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250224@020939 UTC
02:10:44 Imager readout modes:
02:10:44   0 is Fast
02:10:44   1 is Normal
02:10:44 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:10:44 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:10:44 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:10:44 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:10:44 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:10:51 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:10:51 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:10:51 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:10:51 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:11:18   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:11:18   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:11:21   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:11:21   (using Fast readout mode)
02:11:21   (starting exposure)

02:11:52   483 catalog stars found
02:11:53   Solved! 177 stars matched.
02:11:53   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
02:11:53   Pointing error is 4.191 arcmin @ angle 268.90
02:11:53   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.

02:11:53   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:11:55   (wait for slew to complete)
02:12:05   (slew complete)
02:12:05   Target is now centered.
02:12:05   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:12:05   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:12:05   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
02:12:05   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:12:07   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:12:17   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=452.9193 Y=350.3543
