07:18:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:18:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:18:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:18:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:18:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:18:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:18:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:18:12 Dome is MaxDome
07:18:12 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:18:12 Imager is ASCOM
07:18:12 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:18:12 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240127@071645 UTC
07:18:12 Imager readout modes:
07:18:12   0 is Fast
07:18:12   1 is Normal
07:18:12 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:18:12 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:18:12 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:18:12 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:18:12 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:18:12 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:18:12 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:18:12 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:18:12 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:18:12 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
07:18:12 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
07:18:12   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
07:18:12   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:18:12 Pointing updates are enabled
07:18:12 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:18:12   Start slew to IR_Com...
07:18:14   (wait for slew to complete)
07:19:36   (slew complete)

07:19:36   Updating pointing...
07:19:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:19:36   (using Fast readout mode)
07:19:36   (starting exposure)
07:19:51   (exposure complete)
07:19:53   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:19:54   Image finished
07:19:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:19:55   154 image stars found
07:19:55   151 catalog stars found
07:19:56   Solved! 48 stars matched.
07:19:56   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
07:19:56   Pointing error is 1.529 arcmin @ angle 271.61
07:19:56   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
07:19:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:19:56   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 25.6s   21° 08' 08.97"
07:19:56   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:19:56   [sync] pointing model updated
07:19:56   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:19:56   Target is now centered.
07:19:56   (high cadence option, no web previews)
07:19:56   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
07:19:56   Switching from SR to R filter for imaging
