Licensed to Arne Henden
07:30:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:30:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:30:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:30:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:30:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:30:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:30:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:30:37 Dome is MaxDome
07:30:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:30:37 Imager is ASCOM
07:30:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:30:37 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240213@072832 UTC
07:30:37 Imager readout modes:
07:30:37   0 is Fast
07:30:37   1 is Normal
07:30:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:30:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:30:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:30:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:30:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:30:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:30:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:30:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:30:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:30:37 ==== Starting target QX_Pup ====
07:30:37 ACPS Observation QX_Pup(1 of 1)
07:30:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan QX_Pup)
07:30:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)

07:30:38   Start slew to QX_Pup...
07:30:39   (wait for slew to complete)

07:31:18   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:31:18   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:31:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:31:22   (using Fast readout mode)
07:31:22   (starting exposure)
07:31:48   (exposure complete)
07:31:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:31:52   Image finished
07:31:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:31:53   3048 image stars found
07:31:53   601 catalog stars found
07:31:54   Solved! 173 stars matched.
07:31:54   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
