Licensed to Arne Henden
02:53:24 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:53:24 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:53:24   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:53:24 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:53:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:53:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:53:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:53:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:53:26 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:53:26 Imager is ASCOM
02:53:26 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:53:26 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240214@025251 UTC
02:53:26 Imager readout modes:
02:53:26   0 is Fast
02:53:26   1 is Normal
02:53:26 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:53:26 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:53:26 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:53:26 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:53:26 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:53:26 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:53:26 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:53:26 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:53:26 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:53:26 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
02:53:26 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
02:53:26   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
02:53:26   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:53:26 Pointing updates are enabled
02:53:26 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:53:26   Start slew to MP_Gem...
02:53:28   (wait for slew to complete)
02:54:43   (slew complete)

02:54:43   Updating pointing...
02:54:43   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:54:43   Focus change of -290 steps required
02:54:47   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:54:47   (using Fast readout mode)
02:54:47   (starting exposure)
02:55:12   (exposure complete)
02:55:14   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:55:16   Image finished
02:55:16   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:55:17   1388 image stars found
02:55:17   315 catalog stars found
02:55:18   Solved! 134 stars matched.
02:55:18   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
02:55:18   Pointing error is 1.372 arcmin @ angle 284.00
02:55:18   True focal length is 3468.0 mm.
02:55:18   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:55:18   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 27.7s   19° 37' 34.21"
02:55:18   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:55:18   [sync] pointing model updated
02:55:18   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:55:18   Target is now centered.
