Licensed to Arne Henden
01:48:37 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:48:37 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:48:37   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:48:37 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:48:38 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:48:38 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:48:38 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:48:38 Dome is MaxDome
01:48:38 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:48:38 Imager is ASCOM
01:48:38 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:48:38 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240129@014807 UTC
01:48:38 Imager readout modes:
01:48:38   0 is Fast
01:48:38   1 is Normal
01:48:38 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:48:38 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:48:38 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:48:38 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:48:38 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:48:38 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:48:38 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:48:38 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:48:38 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

01:48:39 ACPS Observation V0704_And(1 of 1)
01:48:39   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO_ver3388, Plan V0704_And)
01:48:39   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:48:39 Pointing updates are enabled
01:48:39 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:48:39   Start slew to V0704_And...
01:48:40   (wait for slew to complete)

01:50:36   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
01:50:36   Focus change of -50 steps required
01:50:38   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:50:38   (using Fast readout mode)
01:50:38   (starting exposure)
01:51:00   (exposure complete)
01:51:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
01:51:04   Image finished
01:51:04   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:51:05   683 image stars found
01:51:05   238 catalog stars found
01:51:07   Solved! 88 stars matched.
01:51:07   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
01:51:07   Pointing error is 0.736 arcmin @ angle 95.87
01:51:07   True focal length is 3466.3 mm.
01:51:07   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

01:51:07   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
01:51:07   [sync] pointing model updated
01:51:07   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:51:07   Target is now centered.
01:51:07   (high cadence option, no web previews)
