03:27:08 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:27:08 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:27:08 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:27:09 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:27:09 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:27:09 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:27:09 Dome is MaxDome
03:27:09 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:27:09 Imager is ASCOM
03:27:09 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:27:09 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20231013@032455 UTC
03:27:09 Imager readout modes:
03:27:09   0 is Fast
03:27:09   1 is Normal
03:27:09 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:27:09 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:27:09 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:27:09 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:27:09 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:27:09 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:27:09 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:27:09 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:27:09 ACPS Observation V2492_Cyg(1 of 1)
03:27:09   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SGUA_AUTO_ver2821, Plan V2492_Cyg)
03:27:09   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:27:09 Pointing updates are enabled
03:27:09 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

03:28:11   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:28:11   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:28:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:28:14   (using Fast readout mode)

03:28:45   200 catalog stars found
03:28:46   Solved! 97 stars matched.
03:28:46   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
