10:44:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:44:31 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:44:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:44:32 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:44:32 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:44:32 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:44:32 Dome is MaxDome
10:44:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:44:32 Imager is ASCOM
10:44:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:44:32 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@102649 UTC
10:44:32 Imager readout modes:
10:44:32   0 is Fast
10:44:32   1 is Normal
10:44:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:44:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:44:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:44:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:44:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:44:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:44:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:44:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:44:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:44:32 ==== Starting target MV_Lyr ====
10:44:32 ACPS Observation MV_Lyr(1 of 1)
10:44:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P233_DKS_AUTO_ver2623, Plan MV_Lyr)
10:44:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:44:32 Pointing updates are enabled
10:44:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:44:32   Start slew to MV_Lyr...
10:44:34   (wait for slew to complete)
10:45:18   (slew complete)

10:45:18   Updating pointing...
10:45:18   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:45:18   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:45:22   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:45:22   (using Fast readout mode)
10:45:22   (starting exposure)
10:45:47   (exposure complete)
10:45:49   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:45:50   Image finished
10:45:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:45:51   635 image stars found
10:45:51   331 catalog stars found
10:45:52   Solved! 117 stars matched.
10:45:52   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
10:45:52   Pointing error is 0.777 arcmin @ angle 145.31
10:45:52   True focal length is 3465.8 mm.
10:45:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:45:52   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 18.8s   44° 00' 30.25"
10:45:52   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
10:45:52   [sync] pointing model updated
10:45:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:45:52   Target is now centered.
