05:20:00 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:20:00 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:20:00 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:20:01 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:20:01 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:20:01 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:20:01 Dome is MaxDome
05:20:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:20:01 Imager is ASCOM
05:20:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:20:01 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@051641 UTC
05:20:01 Imager readout modes:
05:20:01   0 is Fast
05:20:01   1 is Normal
05:20:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:20:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:20:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:20:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:20:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:20:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:20:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:20:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:20:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:20:01 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
05:20:01 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
05:20:01   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan J072816)
05:20:01   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:20:01 Pointing updates are enabled
05:20:01 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:20:01   Start slew to J072816...
05:20:03   (wait for slew to complete)
05:20:47   (slew complete)

05:20:47   Updating pointing...
05:20:48   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:20:48   Focus change of -320 steps required
05:20:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:20:52   (using Fast readout mode)
05:20:52   (starting exposure)
05:21:17   (exposure complete)
05:21:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:21:21   Image finished
05:21:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:21:22   483 image stars found
05:21:22   313 catalog stars found
05:21:23   Solved! 124 stars matched.
05:21:23   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
05:21:23   Pointing error is 0.944 arcmin @ angle 255.31
05:21:23   True focal length is 3470.6 mm.
05:21:23   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:21:23   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 03.9s   75° 16' 00.81"
05:21:23   Imager sky position angle is 178.6 deg.
05:21:23   [sync] pointing model updated
05:21:23   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:21:23   Target is now centered.
05:21:23   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:21:23   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:21:23   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
