07:33:32 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:33:32 Custom image file path/names are in use

07:33:32 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:33:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:33:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:33:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:33:33 Dome is MaxDome
07:33:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:33:33 Imager is ASCOM
07:33:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:33:33 Selecting filter SI from previous ACP run at 20240213@073210 UTC
07:33:34 Imager readout modes:
07:33:34   0 is Fast
07:33:34   1 is Normal
07:33:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:33:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:33:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:33:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:33:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:33:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:33:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:33:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:33:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:33:34 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
07:33:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
07:33:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:33:34 Pointing updates are enabled
07:33:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:33:34   Start slew to NSV-6690...
07:33:35   (wait for slew to complete)

07:35:11   Updating pointing...
07:35:11   Switching from SI to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:35:11   Focus change of 20 steps required
07:35:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:35:13   (using Fast readout mode)
07:35:13   (starting exposure)
07:35:30   (exposure complete)
07:35:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:35:33   Image finished
07:35:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:35:34   198 image stars found
07:35:34   113 catalog stars found
07:35:35   Solved! 11 stars matched.
07:35:36   Average residual is 0.5 arcsec.
07:35:36   Pointing error is 0.888 arcmin @ angle 256.28
07:35:36   True focal length is 3471.8 mm.
07:35:36   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:35:36   [sync] pointing model updated
07:35:36   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
