Licensed to Arne Henden
06:34:39 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:34:39 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:34:39   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:34:39 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:34:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:34:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:34:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:34:40 Dome is MaxDome
06:34:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:34:40 Imager is ASCOM
06:34:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:34:40 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240119@063330 UTC
06:34:40 Imager readout modes:
06:34:40   0 is Fast
06:34:40   1 is Normal
06:34:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:34:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:34:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:34:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:34:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:34:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:34:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:34:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:34:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:34:40 ==== Starting target QZ_Aur ====
06:34:40 ACPS Observation QZ_Aur(1 of 1)
06:34:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QZ_Aur)
06:34:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:34:40 Pointing updates are enabled
06:34:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:34:40   Start slew to QZ_Aur...
06:34:42   (wait for slew to complete)
06:35:13   (slew complete)

06:35:13   Updating pointing...
06:35:13   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:35:13   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:35:14   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:35:14   (using Fast readout mode)
06:35:14   (starting exposure)
06:35:39   (exposure complete)
06:35:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:35:43   Image finished
06:35:43   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:35:43   1445 image stars found
06:35:43   486 catalog stars found
06:35:44   Solved! 191 stars matched.
06:35:44   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
06:35:44   Pointing error is 1.042 arcmin @ angle 98.18
06:35:44   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
06:35:44   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:35:44   True image center (J2000): 05h 28m 39.0s   33° 18' 12.90"
06:35:44   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
06:35:44   [sync] pointing model updated
06:35:44   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:35:44   Target is now centered.
06:35:44   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:35:44   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:35:44   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
06:35:44   Focus change of 320 steps required
06:35:45   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
06:35:58   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1351.128 Y=235.1983
06:35:58   (guide star SNR=26.8 X=1353 Y=234)
06:35:58   (first exposure estimate 1 sec)
