Licensed to Arne Henden
10:59:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:59:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:59:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:59:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:59:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:59:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:59:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:59:26 Dome is MaxDome
10:59:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:59:26 Imager is ASCOM
10:59:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:59:26 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240127@105555 UTC
10:59:27 Imager readout modes:
10:59:27   0 is Fast
10:59:27   1 is Normal
10:59:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:59:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:59:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:59:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:59:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:59:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:59:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:59:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:59:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:59:27 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
10:59:27 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
10:59:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
10:59:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:59:27 Pointing updates are enabled
10:59:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:59:27   Start slew to IX_Dra...
10:59:28   (wait for slew to complete)
11:00:29   (slew complete)

11:00:29   Updating pointing...
11:00:29   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
11:00:29   Focus change of -270 steps required
11:00:33   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:00:33   (using Fast readout mode)
11:00:33   (starting exposure)
11:00:56   (exposure complete)
11:00:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:01:00   Image finished
11:01:00   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:01:00   286 image stars found
11:01:01   307 catalog stars found
11:01:02   Solved! 112 stars matched.
11:01:02   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
11:01:02   Pointing error is 0.860 arcmin @ angle 195.17
11:01:02   True focal length is 3465.8 mm.
11:01:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:01:02   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 29.2s   67° 03' 56.00"
11:01:02   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
11:01:02   [sync] pointing model updated
11:01:02   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:01:02   Target is now centered.
11:01:02   (high cadence option, no web previews)
