03:56:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:56:58 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:56:58   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:56:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:57:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:57:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:57:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:57:00 Dome is MaxDome
03:57:00 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:57:00 Imager is ASCOM
03:57:00 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:57:00 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20250604@035624 UTC
03:57:00 Imager readout modes:
03:57:00   0 is Fast
03:57:00   1 is Normal
03:57:00 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:57:00 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:57:00 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:57:00 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:57:00 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:57:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:57:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:57:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:57:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:57:39   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:57:39   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:57:42   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:57:42   (using Fast readout mode)
03:57:42   (starting exposure)

03:58:08   Focuser temp (deg.C) = 23.6
03:58:08   Image finished
03:58:08   Plate-solve pointing image.

03:58:09   167 catalog stars found
03:58:11   Solved! 17 stars matched.
03:58:11   Average residual is 0.45 arcsec.
03:58:11   Pointing error is 2.110 arcmin @ angle 89.52

03:58:11   Start slew to NGC_5634...
03:58:12   (wait for slew to complete)
03:58:26   (slew complete)
03:58:26   Target is now centered.
03:58:26   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:58:26   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:58:26   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
03:58:26   Focus change of 50 steps required
03:58:29   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:58:39   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.7446 Y=457.1176
