Licensed to Arne Henden
05:32:57 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:32:57 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:32:57 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:32:58 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:32:58 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:32:58 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:32:58 Dome is MaxDome
05:32:58 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:32:58 Imager is ASCOM
05:32:58 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:32:58 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240119@052923 UTC
05:32:58 Imager readout modes:
05:32:58   0 is Fast
05:32:58   1 is Normal
05:32:58 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:32:58 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:32:58 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:32:58 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:32:58 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:32:58 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:32:58 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:32:58 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:32:58 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:32:58   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan Mrk_180)
05:32:58   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:32:58 Pointing updates are enabled
05:32:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:32:58   Start slew to Mrk_180...

05:34:04   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:34:04   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:34:05   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:34:05   (using Fast readout mode)

05:34:34   Image finished
05:34:34   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:34:34   197 image stars found
05:34:34   164 catalog stars found
05:34:36   Solved! 46 stars matched.
05:34:36   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
05:34:36   Pointing error is 1.073 arcmin @ angle 216.07
05:34:36   True focal length is 3462.9 mm.
05:34:36   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

05:34:36   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:34:36   [sync] pointing model updated
05:34:36   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:34:36   Target is now centered.
05:34:36   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:34:36   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
05:34:36   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
05:34:36   No focus change required
