Licensed to Arne Henden
08:44:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
08:44:38 Custom image file path/names are in use
08:44:38   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
08:44:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
08:44:39 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
08:44:39 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
08:44:39 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
08:44:39 Dome is MaxDome
08:44:39 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
08:44:39 Imager is ASCOM
08:44:39 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
08:44:39 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240127@084316 UTC
08:44:39 Imager readout modes:
08:44:39   0 is Fast
08:44:39   1 is Normal
08:44:39 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
08:44:39 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
08:44:39 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
08:44:39 Guider is set to multi-star mode
08:44:39 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
08:44:39 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
08:44:39 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
08:44:39 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
08:44:39 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
08:44:39 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
08:44:39 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
08:44:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
08:44:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
08:44:39 Pointing updates are enabled
08:44:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
08:44:39   Start slew to NSV-6690...
08:44:41   (wait for slew to complete)
08:46:08   (slew complete)

08:46:28   Image finished
08:46:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
08:46:29   195 image stars found
08:46:29   113 catalog stars found
08:46:30   Solved! 45 stars matched.
08:46:30   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
08:46:30   Pointing error is 1.470 arcmin @ angle 269.24
08:46:30   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
08:46:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
08:46:30   True image center (J2000): 14h 30m 09.7s   23° 03' 43.32"
08:46:30   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
08:46:30   [sync] pointing model updated
08:46:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
08:46:30   Target is now centered.
08:46:30   (high cadence option, no web previews)
08:46:30   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
08:46:30   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
