09:53:45 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
09:53:45 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:53:45   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:53:45 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:53:46 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
09:53:46 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:53:46 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:53:46 Dome is MaxDome
09:53:47 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:53:47 Imager is ASCOM
09:53:47 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:53:47 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250524@095204 UTC
09:53:47 Imager readout modes:
09:53:47   0 is Fast
09:53:47   1 is Normal
09:53:47 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:53:47 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:53:47 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:53:47 Guider is set to multi-star mode
09:53:47 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:53:54 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:53:54 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:53:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:53:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:54:56   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
09:54:57   Focus change of -50 steps required
09:54:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
09:54:59   (using Fast readout mode)
09:54:59   (starting exposure)

09:55:25   Start slew to V630_Cas...
09:55:28   (wait for slew to complete)
09:55:38   (slew complete)
09:55:38   Target is now centered.
09:55:38   (high cadence option, no web previews)
09:55:38   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
09:55:38   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
09:55:38   Focus change of 290 steps required
09:55:42   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
09:55:55   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=178.3288 Y=455.1182
