Licensed to Arne Henden
02:10:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:10:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:10:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:10:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:10:25 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:10:25 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:10:25 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:10:25 Dome is MaxDome
02:10:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:10:26 Imager is ASCOM
02:10:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:10:26 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240128@020925 UTC
02:10:26 Imager readout modes:
02:10:26   0 is Fast
02:10:26   1 is Normal
02:10:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:10:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:10:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:10:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:10:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:10:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:10:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:10:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:10:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:10:26 ==== Starting target V630_Cas ====
02:10:26 ACPS Observation V630_Cas(1 of 1)
02:10:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_PYG_AUTO_ver3260, Plan V630_Cas)
02:10:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:10:26 Pointing updates are enabled
02:10:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:10:26   Start slew to V630_Cas...
02:10:28   (wait for slew to complete)
02:11:03   (slew complete)

02:11:03   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:11:03   (using Fast readout mode)
02:11:03   (starting exposure)
02:11:18   (exposure complete)
02:11:21   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:11:22   Image finished
02:11:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:11:22   1649 image stars found
02:11:23   447 catalog stars found
02:11:24   Solved! 167 stars matched.
02:11:24   Average residual is 0.34 arcsec.
02:11:24   Pointing error is 0.400 arcmin @ angle 117.49
02:11:24   True focal length is 3468.6 mm.
02:11:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:11:24   True image center (J2000): 23h 48m 54.3s   51° 27' 27.92"
02:11:24   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
02:11:24   [sync] pointing model updated
02:11:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:11:24   Target is now centered.
02:11:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
02:11:24   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
02:11:24   Switching from SR to V filter for imaging
02:11:24   Focus change of 290 steps required
02:11:27   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
02:11:41   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=174.0195 Y=396.545
