11:38:48 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:38:48 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:38:48 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:38:49 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:38:49 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:38:49 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:38:50 Dome is MaxDome
11:38:50 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:38:50 Imager is ASCOM
11:38:50 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:38:50 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240213@113733 UTC
11:38:50 Imager readout modes:
11:38:50   0 is Fast
11:38:50   1 is Normal
11:38:50 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:38:50 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:38:50 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:38:50 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:38:50 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:38:50 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:38:50 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:38:50 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:38:50 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:38:50 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
11:38:50 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
11:38:50   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
11:38:50   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:38:50 Pointing updates are enabled
11:38:50 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
11:38:50   Start slew to IX_Dra...
11:38:52   (wait for slew to complete)
11:40:12   (slew complete)

11:40:12   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
11:40:12   (using Fast readout mode)
11:40:12   (starting exposure)
11:40:29   (exposure complete)
11:40:31   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
11:40:32   Image finished
11:40:32   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:40:33   486 image stars found
11:40:33   307 catalog stars found
11:40:34   Solved! 76 stars matched.
11:40:34   Average residual is 0.38 arcsec.
11:40:34   Pointing error is 0.357 arcmin @ angle 259.25
11:40:34   True focal length is 3460.4 mm.
11:40:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.90 V = 0.90
11:40:34   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 27.9s   67° 04' 41.80"
11:40:34   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
11:40:34   [sync] pointing model updated
11:40:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:40:34   Target is now centered.
