02:37:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:37:47 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:37:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:37:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:37:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:37:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:37:48 Dome is MaxDome
02:37:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:37:48 Imager is ASCOM
02:37:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:37:48 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240214@023640 UTC
02:37:48 Imager readout modes:
02:37:48   0 is Fast
02:37:48   1 is Normal
02:37:48 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:37:48 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:37:48 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:37:48 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:37:48 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:37:48 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:37:48 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:37:48 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:37:48 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:37:48 ==== Starting target AF_And ====
02:37:48 ACPS Observation AF_And(1 of 1)
02:37:48   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P251_MSD_AUTO_ver2819, Plan AF_And)
02:37:48   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:37:49 Pointing updates are enabled
02:37:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:37:49   Start slew to AF_And...
02:37:50   (wait for slew to complete)
02:38:45   (slew complete)

02:38:45   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:38:45   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:38:48   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:38:48   (using Fast readout mode)
02:38:48   (starting exposure)
02:39:15   (exposure complete)
02:39:17   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:39:18   Image finished
02:39:18   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:39:19   530 image stars found
02:39:19   240 catalog stars found
02:39:20   Solved! 79 stars matched.
02:39:20   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
02:39:20   Pointing error is 1.072 arcmin @ angle 79.79
02:39:20   True focal length is 3468.5 mm.
02:39:20   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:39:20   True image center (J2000): 00h 43m 38.7s   41° 12' 21.69"
02:39:20   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
02:39:20   [sync] pointing model updated
02:39:20   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:39:20   Target is now centered.
