02:41:54 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:41:54 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:41:54 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:41:55 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:41:55 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:41:55 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:41:55 Dome is MaxDome
02:41:56 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:41:56 Imager is ASCOM
02:41:56 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:41:56 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240215@023925 UTC
02:41:56 Imager readout modes:
02:41:56   0 is Fast
02:41:56   1 is Normal
02:41:56 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:41:56 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:41:56 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:41:56 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:41:56 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:41:56 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:41:56 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:41:56 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:41:56 Mount supports tracking rate offsets

02:41:56 ACPS Observation NSVS_0421121(1 of 1)
02:41:56   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan NSVS_0421121)
02:41:56   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:41:56 Pointing updates are enabled
02:41:56 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:41:56   Start slew to NSVS_0421121...
02:41:58   (wait for slew to complete)
02:42:37   (slew complete)

02:42:37   Updating pointing...
02:42:37   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:42:37   No focus change required
02:42:37   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:42:37   (using Fast readout mode)
02:42:37   (starting exposure)
02:42:58   (exposure complete)
02:43:00   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:43:01   Image finished
02:43:01   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:43:02   343 image stars found
02:43:02   202 catalog stars found
02:43:03   Solved! 78 stars matched.
02:43:03   Average residual is 0.3 arcsec.
02:43:03   Pointing error is 1.716 arcmin @ angle 77.48
02:43:03   True focal length is 3469.6 mm.
02:43:03   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:43:03   True image center (J2000): 04h 21m 19.1s   16° 26' 39.72"
02:43:03   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:43:03   [sync] pointing model updated
02:43:03   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:43:03   Target is now centered.
