Licensed to Arne Henden
01:42:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:42:29 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:42:29   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:42:29 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:42:30 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:42:30 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:42:30 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:42:30 Dome is MaxDome
01:42:30 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:42:30 Imager is ASCOM
01:42:30 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:42:30 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240118@014106 UTC
01:42:30 Imager readout modes:
01:42:30   0 is Fast
01:42:30   1 is Normal
01:42:30 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:42:30 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:42:30 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:42:30 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:42:30 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:42:30 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:42:30 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:42:30 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:42:30 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

01:42:30 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
01:42:30   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V630_Cas)
01:42:30   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:42:30 Pointing updates are enabled
01:42:30 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

01:43:36   Image finished
01:43:36   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:43:37   762 image stars found
01:43:37   447 catalog stars found
01:43:38   Solved! 144 stars matched.
01:43:38   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
01:43:38   Pointing error is 0.837 arcmin @ angle 128.41
01:43:38   True focal length is 3464.9 mm.
01:43:38   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:43:38   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 56.2s   51° 27' 07.81"
01:43:38   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
01:43:38   [sync] pointing model updated
01:43:38   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:43:38   Target is now centered.
