10:52:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:52:58 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:52:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:52:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:52:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:52:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:52:59 Dome is MaxDome
10:52:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:52:59 Imager is ASCOM
10:52:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:52:59 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240127@104507 UTC
10:52:59 Imager readout modes:
10:52:59   0 is Fast
10:52:59   1 is Normal
10:52:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:52:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:52:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:52:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:52:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:52:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:52:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:52:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:52:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:52:59 ==== Starting target PKS_1510-089 ====
10:52:59 ACPS Observation PKS_1510-089(1 of 1)
10:52:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PKS_1510-089)
10:52:59   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:52:59 Pointing updates are enabled
10:52:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:52:59   Start slew to PKS_1510-089...
10:53:01   (wait for slew to complete)
10:53:20   (slew complete)

10:53:20   Updating pointing...
10:53:20   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:53:20   Focus change of -270 steps required
10:53:24   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:53:24   (using Fast readout mode)
10:53:24   (starting exposure)
10:53:48   (exposure complete)
10:53:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:53:52   Image finished
10:53:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:53:52   250 image stars found
10:53:52   163 catalog stars found
10:53:54   Solved! 56 stars matched.
10:53:54   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
10:53:54   Pointing error is 1.586 arcmin @ angle 77.30
10:53:54   True focal length is 3469.9 mm.
10:53:54   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:53:54   True image center (J2000): 15h 12m 56.8s   -09° 05' 39.07"
10:53:54   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
10:53:54   [sync] pointing model updated
10:53:54   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:53:54   Target is now centered.
10:53:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
