Licensed to Arne Henden
01:55:26 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:55:27 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:55:27   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:55:27 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:55:28 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:55:28 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:55:28 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:55:28 Dome is MaxDome
01:55:28 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:55:28 Imager is ASCOM
01:55:28 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:55:28 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240119@015429 UTC
01:55:28 Imager readout modes:
01:55:28   0 is Fast
01:55:28   1 is Normal
01:55:28 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:55:28 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:55:28 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:55:28 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:55:28 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:55:28 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:55:28 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:55:28 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:55:28 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:55:28 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
01:55:28 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
01:55:28   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
01:55:28   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:55:28 Pointing updates are enabled
01:55:28 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:55:28   Start slew to AF_And...
01:55:30   (wait for slew to complete)
01:55:51   (slew complete)

01:55:51   Updating pointing...
01:55:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:55:51   (using Fast readout mode)
01:55:51   (starting exposure)
01:56:06   (exposure complete)
01:56:09   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:56:10   Image finished
01:56:10   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:56:11   399 image stars found
01:56:11   240 catalog stars found
01:56:12   Solved! 81 stars matched.
01:56:12   Average residual is 0.36 arcsec.
01:56:12   Pointing error is 0.773 arcmin @ angle 126.09
01:56:12   True focal length is 3465.8 mm.
01:56:12   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:56:12   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 36.4s   41° 11' 42.98"
01:56:12   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
01:56:12   [sync] pointing model updated
01:56:12   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:56:12   Target is now centered.
