05:53:11 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:53:11 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:53:11   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:53:11 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:53:12 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:53:12 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:53:12 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:53:12 Dome is MaxDome
05:53:13 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:53:13 Imager is ASCOM
05:53:13 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:53:13 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@054431 UTC
05:53:13 Imager readout modes:
05:53:13   0 is Fast
05:53:13   1 is Normal
05:53:13 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:53:13 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:53:13 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:53:13 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:53:13 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:53:13 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:53:13 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:53:13 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:53:13 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:53:13 ==== Starting target IR_Com ====
05:53:13 ACPS Observation IR_Com(1 of 1)
05:53:13   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan IR_Com)
05:53:13   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:53:13 Pointing updates are enabled
05:53:13 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:53:13   Start slew to IR_Com...
05:53:14   (wait for slew to complete)
05:54:40   (slew complete)

05:54:40   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:54:40   Focus change of -290 steps required
05:54:43   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:54:43   (using Fast readout mode)
05:54:43   (starting exposure)
05:55:09   (exposure complete)
05:55:11   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:55:13   Image finished
05:55:13   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:55:13   251 image stars found
05:55:13   151 catalog stars found
05:55:14   Solved! 53 stars matched.
05:55:14   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
05:55:14   Pointing error is 1.071 arcmin @ angle 265.96
05:55:14   True focal length is 3468.1 mm.
05:55:14   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:55:14   True image center (J2000): 12h 39m 27.5s   21° 08' 01.86"
05:55:14   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
05:55:14   [sync] pointing model updated
05:55:14   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:55:14   Target is now centered.
