01:53:50 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
01:53:50 Custom image file path/names are in use

01:53:50 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
01:53:51 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
01:53:51 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
01:53:51 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
01:53:52 Dome is MaxDome
01:53:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
01:53:52 Imager is ASCOM
01:53:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
01:53:52 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240213@015110 UTC
01:53:52 Imager readout modes:
01:53:52   0 is Fast
01:53:52   1 is Normal
01:53:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
01:53:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
01:53:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
01:53:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
01:53:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
01:53:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
01:53:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
01:53:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
01:53:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
01:53:52 ==== Starting target V0704_And ====
01:53:52 ACPS Observation V0704_And(1 of 1)
01:53:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P253_CDAG_AUTO_ver3388, Plan V0704_And)
01:53:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
01:53:52 Pointing updates are enabled
01:53:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
01:53:52   Start slew to V0704_And...
01:53:53   (wait for slew to complete)
01:55:49   (slew complete)

01:55:49   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
01:55:49   Focus change of -50 steps required
01:55:51   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
01:55:51   (using Fast readout mode)
01:55:51   (starting exposure)
01:56:13   (exposure complete)

01:56:17   Image finished
01:56:17   Plate-solve pointing image.
01:56:17   760 image stars found
01:56:17   238 catalog stars found
01:56:19   Solved! 97 stars matched.
01:56:19   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
01:56:19   Pointing error is 0.593 arcmin @ angle 87.99
01:56:19   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
01:56:19   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

01:56:19   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
01:56:19   [sync] pointing model updated
01:56:19   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
01:56:19   Target is now centered.
