09:24:22 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
09:24:22 Custom image file path/names are in use
09:24:22   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
09:24:22 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
09:24:23 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
09:24:23 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
09:24:23 User actions detected.
09:24:23 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
09:24:23 Dome is MaxDome
09:24:23 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
09:24:23 Imager is ASCOM
09:24:23 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
09:24:23 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20230224@091904 UTC
09:24:23 Imager readout modes:
09:24:23   0 is Fast
09:24:23   1 is Normal
09:24:23 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
09:24:23 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
09:24:23 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
09:24:23 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
09:24:23 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
09:24:23 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
09:24:23 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
09:24:23 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

09:24:23   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3464, Plan IR_Com)
09:24:23   (turning on sidereal tracking)
09:24:24 Pointing updates are enabled

09:25:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
09:25:21   207 image stars found
09:25:22   151 catalog stars found
09:25:23   Solved! 50 stars matched.
09:25:23   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
09:25:23   Pointing error is 1.653 arcmin @ angle 108.08
09:25:23   True focal length is 3469.5 mm.
09:25:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
09:25:23   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 38.9s   21° 07' 35.61"
09:25:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
09:25:23   [sync] pointing model updated
09:25:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
09:25:23   Target is now centered.
