02:20:19 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:20:19 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:20:19 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:20:20 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:20:20 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:20:20 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:20:20 Dome is MaxDome
02:20:20 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:20:20 Imager is ASCOM
02:20:20 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:20:20 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@021702 UTC
02:20:20 Imager readout modes:
02:20:20   0 is Fast
02:20:20   1 is Normal
02:20:20 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:20:20 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:20:20 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:20:20 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:20:20 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:20:20 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:20:20 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:20:20 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:20:20 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:20:20 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
02:20:20 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
02:20:20   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
02:20:20   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:20:20 Pointing updates are enabled
02:20:20 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:20:20   Start slew to MP_Gem...
02:20:22   (wait for slew to complete)
02:22:43   (slew complete)

02:22:43   Updating pointing...
02:22:43   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:22:43   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:22:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:22:47   (using Fast readout mode)
02:22:47   (starting exposure)
02:23:12   (exposure complete)
02:23:15   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:23:16   Image finished
02:23:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:23:17   1321 image stars found
02:23:17   315 catalog stars found
02:23:18   Solved! 146 stars matched.
02:23:18   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
02:23:18   Pointing error is 1.535 arcmin @ angle 273.61
02:23:18   True focal length is 3465.8 mm.
02:23:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:23:18   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 26.9s   19° 37' 20.09"
02:23:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:23:18   [sync] pointing model updated
02:23:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:23:18   Target is now centered.
02:23:18   (high cadence option, no web previews)
