04:56:09 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:56:09 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:56:09   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:56:09 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:56:10 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:56:10 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:56:10 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:56:11 Dome is MaxDome
04:56:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:56:11 Imager is ASCOM
04:56:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:56:11 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240127@045025 UTC
04:56:11 Imager readout modes:
04:56:11   0 is Fast
04:56:11   1 is Normal
04:56:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:56:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:56:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:56:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:56:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:56:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:56:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:56:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:56:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

04:56:11 ACPS Observation NSVS_0421121(1 of 1)
04:56:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSVS_0421121)
04:56:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:56:11 Pointing updates are enabled
04:56:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:56:11   Start slew to NSVS_0421121...
04:56:13   (wait for slew to complete)

04:56:48   321 image stars found
04:56:48   202 catalog stars found
04:56:49   Solved! 76 stars matched.
04:56:49   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
04:56:49   Pointing error is 1.330 arcmin @ angle 67.40
04:56:49   True focal length is 3469.0 mm.
04:56:49   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
