Licensed to Arne Henden
04:09:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:09:51 Custom image file path/names are in use
04:09:51   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
04:09:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:09:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:09:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:09:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:09:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:09:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:09:52 Imager is ASCOM
04:09:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:09:52 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240213@040926 UTC
04:09:52 Imager readout modes:
04:09:52   0 is Fast
04:09:52   1 is Normal
04:09:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:09:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:09:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:09:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:09:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:09:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:09:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:09:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:09:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:09:52 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
04:09:52 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
04:09:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan U_Leo)
04:09:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:09:52 Pointing updates are enabled
04:09:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:09:52   Start slew to U_Leo...
04:09:54   (wait for slew to complete)
04:12:10   (slew complete)
04:12:10     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-13750s GW=T HAz=-13150s DWz=T WF=no]
04:12:10   Updating pointing...
04:12:10   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
04:12:10   Focus change of -290 steps required
04:12:13   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
04:12:13   (using Fast readout mode)
04:12:13   (starting exposure)
04:12:39   (exposure complete)
04:12:41   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
04:12:42   Image finished
04:12:42   Plate-solve pointing image.
04:12:43   227 image stars found
04:12:43   150 catalog stars found
04:12:45   Solved! 55 stars matched.
04:12:45   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
04:12:45   Pointing error is 1.193 arcmin @ angle 273.39
04:12:45   True focal length is 3465.6 mm.
04:12:45   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
04:12:45   True image center (J2000): 10h 23m 58.9s   14° 00' 30.23"
04:12:45   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:12:45   [sync] pointing model updated
04:12:45   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
04:12:45   Target is now centered.
