Licensed to Arne Henden
03:59:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
03:59:00 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:59:00   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:59:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:59:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
03:59:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:59:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:59:01 Dome is MaxDome
03:59:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:59:01 Imager is ASCOM
03:59:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:59:01 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250604@035829 UTC
03:59:01 Imager readout modes:
03:59:01   0 is Fast
03:59:01   1 is Normal
03:59:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:59:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:59:01 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
03:59:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:59:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:59:08 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:59:08 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:59:08 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:59:08 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:00:55   (slew complete)
04:00:55   Target is now centered.
04:00:55   (high cadence option, no web previews)
04:00:55   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:00:55   Switching from SR to Open filter for imaging
04:00:55   Focus change of -360 steps required
04:00:59   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:01:10   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=961.8098 Y=727.9263
