07:18:00 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
07:18:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:18:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:18:02 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
07:18:02 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:18:02 User actions detected.
07:18:02 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:18:02 Dome is MaxDome
07:18:02 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
07:18:02 Imager is ASCOM
07:18:02 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:18:02 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220212@070334 UTC
07:18:02 Imager readout modes:
07:18:02   0 is Fast
07:18:02   1 is Normal
07:18:02 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:18:02 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
07:18:02 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
07:18:02 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:18:07 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
07:18:07 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
07:18:07 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:18:07 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:18:07 ACPS Observation QX_Pup(1 of 1)
07:18:07   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver2706, Plan QX_Pup)
07:18:07   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:18:07 Pointing updates are enabled
07:18:07   Start slew to QX_Pup...
07:18:09   (wait for slew to complete)

07:18:38   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:18:38   Focus change of -290 steps required

07:19:10   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:19:11   Image finished
07:19:12   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:19:15   4188 image stars found
07:19:15   590 catalog stars found
07:19:17   Solved! 151 stars matched.
07:19:17   Average residual is 0.19 arcsec.
07:19:17   Pointing error is 2.747 arcmin @ angle 72.41
07:19:17   True focal length is 3467.3 mm.
07:19:17   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
07:19:17   True image center (J2000): 07h 41m 58.0s   -14° 47' 48.18"

07:19:17   [sync] pointing model updated
07:19:17   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:19:17   Target is now centered.
07:19:17   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:19:17   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:19:17   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
