10:39:53 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
10:39:53 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:39:53   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:39:53 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:39:54 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
10:39:54 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:39:54 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:39:54 Dome is MaxDome
10:39:54 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:39:54 Imager is ASCOM
10:39:54 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:39:54 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20250526@103917 UTC
10:39:54 Imager readout modes:
10:39:54   0 is Fast
10:39:54   1 is Normal
10:39:54 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:39:54 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:39:54 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
10:39:54 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:39:54 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:40:03 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:40:03 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:40:03 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:40:03 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

10:40:35   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:40:35   Focus change of -320 steps required
10:40:39   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:40:39   (using Fast readout mode)
10:40:39   (starting exposure)

10:41:07   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 18.6
10:41:07   Image finished
10:41:07   Plate-solve pointing image.

10:41:09   Re-slew to target.
10:41:09   Start slew to M56_V6...
10:41:10   (wait for slew to complete)
10:41:25   (slew complete)
10:41:25   Target is now centered.
10:41:25   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:41:25   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
10:41:25   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
10:41:25   Focus change of 320 steps required
