Licensed to Arne Henden
07:25:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:25:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:25:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:25:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:25:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:25:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:25:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:25:16 Dome is MaxDome
07:25:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:25:16 Imager is ASCOM
07:25:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:25:16 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240215@072023 UTC
07:25:16 Imager readout modes:
07:25:16   0 is Fast
07:25:16   1 is Normal
07:25:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:25:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:25:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:25:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:25:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:25:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:25:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:25:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:25:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

07:25:16 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
07:25:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
07:25:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:25:17 Pointing updates are enabled
07:25:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:25:17   Start slew to NSV-6690...
07:25:18   (wait for slew to complete)
07:27:00   (slew complete)

07:27:00   Updating pointing...
07:27:00   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:27:00   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:27:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:27:04   (using Fast readout mode)
07:27:04   (starting exposure)
07:27:28   (exposure complete)
07:27:30   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:27:31   Image finished
07:27:31   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:27:32   164 image stars found
07:27:32   113 catalog stars found
07:27:34   Solved! 17 stars matched.
07:27:34   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
07:27:34   Pointing error is 0.741 arcmin @ angle 233.50
07:27:34   True focal length is 3477.3 mm.
07:27:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:27:34   Imager sky position angle is 178.9 deg.
07:27:34   [sync] pointing model updated
07:27:34   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:27:34   Target is now centered.
