04:12:16 This is AcquireScheduler V8.2.8
04:12:16 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:12:16 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:12:17 Initializing AcquireSupport V8.3.1
04:12:17 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:12:17 User actions detected.
04:12:17 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:12:18 Dome is MaxDome
04:12:18 MaxIm DL is version 6.26
04:12:18 Imager is ASCOM
04:12:18 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:12:18 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20220406@040341 UTC
04:12:18 Imager readout modes:
04:12:18   0 is Fast
04:12:18   1 is Normal
04:12:18 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:12:18 Guider plate scale unknown, guided dither with guider pixels
04:12:18 Max unguided exposure 61 sec.
04:12:18 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:12:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.22 V = 0.22
04:12:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 35.8 V = 24.0
04:12:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:12:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:12:23 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:12:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
04:12:24   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:12:24 Pointing updates are enabled
04:12:24   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:12:25   (wait for slew to complete)

04:13:16   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:13:16   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:13:28   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 2)
04:13:28   (using Fast readout mode)
04:13:28   (starting [RBI] + exposure)

04:13:52   146 catalog stars found
04:13:53   Solved! 29 stars matched.
04:13:54   Average residual is 0.12 arcsec.
