Licensed to Arne Henden
06:25:36 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
06:25:36 Custom image file path/names are in use
06:25:36   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
06:25:36 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
06:25:37 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
06:25:37 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
06:25:37 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
06:25:37 Dome is MaxDome
06:25:37 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
06:25:37 Imager is ASCOM
06:25:37 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
06:25:37 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@062411 UTC
06:25:37 Imager readout modes:
06:25:37   0 is Fast
06:25:37   1 is Normal
06:25:37 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
06:25:37 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
06:25:37 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
06:25:37 Guider is set to multi-star mode
06:25:37 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
06:25:37 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
06:25:37 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
06:25:37 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
06:25:37 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
06:25:37 ==== Starting target BX_Pup ====
06:25:37 ACPS Observation BX_Pup(1 of 1)
06:25:37   (belongs to Project AAVSO_ZCAM_HQA_AUTO_ver3443, Plan BX_Pup)
06:25:37   (turning on sidereal tracking)
06:25:37 Pointing updates are enabled
06:25:37 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
06:25:37   Start slew to BX_Pup...
06:25:39   (wait for slew to complete)

06:26:49   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
06:26:49   Focus change of -320 steps required
06:26:52   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
06:26:52   (using Fast readout mode)
06:26:52   (starting exposure)
06:27:18   (exposure complete)
06:27:21   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
06:27:22   Image finished
06:27:22   Plate-solve pointing image.
06:27:23   1600 image stars found
06:27:23   405 catalog stars found
06:27:25   Solved! 114 stars matched.
06:27:25   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
06:27:25   Pointing error is 3.414 arcmin @ angle 276.35
06:27:25   True focal length is 3468.4 mm.
06:27:25   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
