02:46:05 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
02:46:05 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:46:05 User actions detected.
02:46:05 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:46:05 Dome is MaxDome
02:46:05 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
02:46:05 Imager is ASCOM
02:46:05 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:46:05 Selecting filter SZ from previous ACP run at 20211201@024511 UTC
02:46:05 Imager readout modes:
02:46:05   0 is Fast
02:46:05   1 is Normal
02:46:05 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:46:05 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
02:46:05 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
02:46:05 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:46:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
02:46:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
02:46:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:46:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:46:11 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
02:46:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
02:46:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:46:11 Pointing updates are enabled
02:46:11   Start slew to MV_Lyr...

02:47:07   Switching from SZ to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:47:07   Focus change of 50 steps required
02:47:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
02:47:14   (using Fast readout mode)
02:47:14   (starting [RBI] + exposure)
02:47:28   (exposure complete)
02:47:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:47:33   Image finished
02:47:33   Plate-solve pointing image.

02:47:39   Solved! 69 stars matched.
02:47:39   Average residual is 0.16 arcsec.
