Licensed to Arne Henden
02:57:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:57:54 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:57:54   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:57:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:57:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:57:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:57:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:57:55 Dome is MaxDome
02:57:55 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:57:55 Imager is ASCOM
02:57:55 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:57:55 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240127@025650 UTC
02:57:55 Imager readout modes:
02:57:55   0 is Fast
02:57:55   1 is Normal
02:57:55 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:57:55 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:57:55 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:57:55 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:57:55 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:57:55 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:57:55 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:57:55 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:57:55 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:57:55 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
02:57:55 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
02:57:55   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
02:57:55   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:57:55 Pointing updates are enabled
02:57:55 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:57:55   Start slew to MP_Gem...
02:57:57   (wait for slew to complete)
02:58:28   (slew complete)

02:58:28   Updating pointing...
02:58:28   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:58:28   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:58:32   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:58:32   (using Fast readout mode)
02:58:32   (starting exposure)
02:58:56   (exposure complete)
02:58:58   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:58:59   Image finished
02:58:59   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:59:00   1275 image stars found
02:59:00   315 catalog stars found
02:59:02   Solved! 122 stars matched.
02:59:02   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
02:59:02   Pointing error is 1.172 arcmin @ angle 78.84
02:59:02   True focal length is 3468.2 mm.
02:59:02   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:59:02   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 38.3s   19° 37' 27.90"
02:59:02   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:59:02   [sync] pointing model updated
02:59:02   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:59:02   Target is now centered.
