01:54:28 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:54:28 Custom image file path/names are in use
01:54:28   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
01:54:28 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:54:29 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:54:29 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:54:29 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:54:29 Dome is MaxDome
01:54:29 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:54:29 Imager is ASCOM
01:54:29 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:54:29 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240129@015317 UTC
01:54:29 Imager readout modes:
01:54:29   0 is Fast
01:54:29   1 is Normal
01:54:29 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:54:29 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:54:29 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:54:29 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:54:29 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:54:29 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:54:29 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:54:29 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:54:29 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

01:54:29 ACPS Observation V0704_And(1 of 1)
01:54:29   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO_ver3388, Plan V0704_And)
01:54:29   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:54:30 Pointing updates are enabled
01:54:30 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:54:30   Start slew to V0704_And...
01:54:31   (wait for slew to complete)

01:55:25   Image finished
01:55:25   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:55:25   583 image stars found
01:55:26   238 catalog stars found
01:55:27   Solved! 89 stars matched.
01:55:27   Average residual is 0.37 arcsec.
01:55:27   Pointing error is 0.750 arcmin @ angle 106.02
01:55:27   True focal length is 3466.7 mm.
01:55:27   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
01:55:27   True image center (J2000): 23h 45m 01.5s   43° 31' 09.88"
01:55:27   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
01:55:27   [sync] pointing model updated
01:55:27   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:55:27   Target is now centered.
01:55:27   (high cadence option, no web previews)
01:55:27   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
01:55:27   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
