03:28:12 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:28:12 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:28:12   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:28:12 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:28:13 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:28:13 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:28:13 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:28:13 Dome is MaxDome
03:28:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:28:13 Imager is ASCOM
03:28:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:28:13 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@032043 UTC
03:28:13 Imager readout modes:
03:28:13   0 is Fast
03:28:13   1 is Normal
03:28:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:28:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:28:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:28:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:28:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:28:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:28:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:28:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:28:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

03:28:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
03:28:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:28:13 Pointing updates are enabled
03:28:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:28:13   Start slew to J072816...
03:28:15   (wait for slew to complete)
03:29:16   (slew complete)

03:29:16   Updating pointing...
03:29:16   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:29:16   Focus change of -320 steps required
03:29:20   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:29:21   (using Fast readout mode)
03:29:21   (starting exposure)
03:29:47   (exposure complete)
03:29:50   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:29:51   Image finished
03:29:51   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:29:52   275 image stars found
03:29:52   313 catalog stars found
03:29:53   Solved! 104 stars matched.
03:29:53   Average residual is 0.39 arcsec.
03:29:53   Pointing error is 0.856 arcmin @ angle 222.02
03:29:53   True focal length is 3467.5 mm.
03:29:53   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:29:53   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 09.3s   75° 15' 37.03"
03:29:53   Imager sky position angle is 178.5 deg.
03:29:53   [sync] pointing model updated
03:29:53   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:29:53   Target is now centered.
03:29:53   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:29:53   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
03:29:53   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
