06:42:17 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:42:17 Custom image file path/names are in use

06:42:17 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:42:19 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:42:19 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:42:19 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:42:19 Dome is MaxDome
06:42:19 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:42:19 Imager is ASCOM
06:42:19 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:42:19 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240127@063749 UTC
06:42:19 Imager readout modes:
06:42:19   0 is Fast
06:42:19   1 is Normal
06:42:19 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:42:19 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:42:19 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:42:19 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:42:19 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:42:19 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:42:19 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:42:19 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:42:19 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:42:19 ==== Starting target PKS_1222+216 ====
06:42:19 ACPS Observation PKS_1222+216(1 of 1)
06:42:19   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PKS_1222+216)
06:42:19   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:42:19 Pointing updates are enabled
06:42:19 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:42:19   Start slew to PKS_1222+216...
06:42:21   (wait for slew to complete)
06:44:08   (slew complete)

06:44:08   Updating pointing...
06:44:08   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:44:08   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:44:11   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:44:11   (using Fast readout mode)
06:44:11   (starting exposure)
06:44:37   (exposure complete)
06:44:39   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:44:41   Image finished
06:44:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:44:41   110 image stars found
06:44:41   137 catalog stars found
06:44:42   Solved! 40 stars matched.
06:44:42   Average residual is 0.4 arcsec.
06:44:42   Pointing error is 1.428 arcmin @ angle 272.68
06:44:42   True focal length is 3468.9 mm.
06:44:42   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
06:44:42   True image center (J2000): 12h 24m 48.3s   21° 22' 49.99"
06:44:42   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
06:44:42   [sync] pointing model updated
06:44:42   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
06:44:42   Target is now centered.
06:44:42   (high cadence option, no web previews)
06:44:42   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
06:44:42   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
