05:50:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.1.3
05:50:36 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:50:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:50:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.2.4
05:50:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:50:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:50:38 Dome is MaxDome
05:50:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:50:38 Imager is ASCOM
05:50:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:50:38 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20250605@055000 UTC
05:50:38 Imager readout modes:
05:50:38   0 is Fast
05:50:38   1 is Normal
05:50:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:50:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:50:38 Max unguided exposure 59 sec.
05:50:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:50:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:50:45 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:50:45 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:50:45 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:50:45 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:51:59   Target is now centered.
05:51:59   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:51:59   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:51:59   Switching from SR to SG filter for imaging
05:51:59   Focus change of 50 steps required
05:52:01   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
