03:33:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:33:19 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:33:19   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:33:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:33:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:33:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:33:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:33:20 Dome is MaxDome
03:33:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:33:21 Imager is ASCOM
03:33:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:33:21 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240119@033059 UTC
03:33:21 Imager readout modes:
03:33:21   0 is Fast
03:33:21   1 is Normal
03:33:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:33:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:33:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:33:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:33:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:33:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:33:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:33:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:33:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:33:21 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
03:33:21 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
03:33:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan V630_Cas)
03:33:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:33:21 Pointing updates are enabled
03:33:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:33:21   Start slew to V630_Cas...
03:33:23   (wait for slew to complete)
03:34:43   (slew complete)

03:34:43   Updating pointing...
03:34:43   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:34:43   Focus change of -50 steps required
03:34:44   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:34:44   (using Fast readout mode)
03:34:44   (starting exposure)
03:35:05   (exposure complete)
03:35:08   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:35:09   Image finished
03:35:09   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:35:10   973 image stars found
03:35:10   447 catalog stars found
03:35:11   Solved! 149 stars matched.
03:35:11   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
03:35:11   Pointing error is 0.727 arcmin @ angle 163.24
03:35:11   True focal length is 3463.6 mm.
03:35:11   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:35:11   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 53.3s   51° 26' 57.26"
03:35:11   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
03:35:11   [sync] pointing model updated
03:35:11   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:35:11   Target is now centered.
03:35:11   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:35:11   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:35:11   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
