05:58:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:58:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:58:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:58:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:58:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:58:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:58:01 Dome is MaxDome
05:58:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:58:01 Imager is ASCOM
05:58:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:58:01 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240119@054616 UTC
05:58:01 Imager readout modes:
05:58:01   0 is Fast
05:58:01   1 is Normal
05:58:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:58:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:58:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:58:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:58:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:58:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:58:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:58:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:58:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

05:58:01 ACPS Observation NSVS_0421121(1 of 1)
05:58:01   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSVS_0421121)
05:58:01   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:58:01 Pointing updates are enabled
05:58:01 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:58:01   Start slew to NSVS_0421121...
05:58:03   (wait for slew to complete)
05:58:22   (slew complete)

05:58:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:58:22   (using Fast readout mode)
05:58:22   (starting exposure)
05:58:38   (exposure complete)
05:58:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:58:41   Image finished
05:58:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:58:42   242 image stars found
05:58:42   202 catalog stars found
05:58:43   Solved! 75 stars matched.
05:58:43   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
05:58:43   Pointing error is 0.608 arcmin @ angle 98.75
05:58:43   True focal length is 3466.0 mm.
05:58:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
