12:00:59 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:00:59 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:00:59   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:00:59 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:01:00 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:01:00 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:01:00 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:01:00 Dome is MaxDome
12:01:01 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:01:01 Imager is ASCOM
12:01:01 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:01:01 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240215@115851 UTC
12:01:01 Imager readout modes:
12:01:01   0 is Fast
12:01:01   1 is Normal
12:01:01 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:01:01 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:01:01 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:01:01 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:01:01 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:01:01 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:01:01 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:01:01 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:01:01 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:01:01 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
12:01:01 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
12:01:01   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan M56_V6)
12:01:01   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:01:01 Pointing updates are enabled
12:01:01 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:01:01   Start slew to M56_V6...
12:01:03   (wait for slew to complete)
12:01:33   (slew complete)
12:01:33     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-16965s GW=T HAz=-16305s DWz=T WF=no]
12:01:33   Updating pointing...
12:01:33   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:01:33   Focus change of -50 steps required
12:01:35   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:01:35   (using Fast readout mode)
12:01:35   (starting exposure)
12:01:57   (exposure complete)
12:01:59   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:02:01   Image finished
12:02:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:02:01   1840 image stars found
12:02:01   357 catalog stars found
12:02:03   Solved! 150 stars matched.
12:02:03   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
12:02:03   Pointing error is 0.535 arcmin @ angle 226.42
12:02:03   True focal length is 3465.7 mm.
12:02:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:02:03   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 33.7s   30° 10' 42.06"
12:02:03   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:02:03   [sync] pointing model updated
12:02:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:02:03   Target is now centered.
12:02:03   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:02:03   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
12:02:03   Switching from SR to B filter for imaging
12:02:03   Focus change of 320 steps required
