Licensed to Arne Henden
12:15:15 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:15:15 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:15:15   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:15:15 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:15:16 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:15:16 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:15:16 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:15:16 Dome is MaxDome
12:15:16 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:15:16 Imager is ASCOM
12:15:16 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:15:16 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240215@121436 UTC
12:15:16 Imager readout modes:
12:15:16   0 is Fast
12:15:16   1 is Normal
12:15:16 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:15:16 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:15:16 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:15:16 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:15:16 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:15:16 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:15:16 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:15:16 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:15:16 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:15:16 ==== Starting target PV_Cep ====
12:15:16 ACPS Observation PV_Cep(1 of 1)
12:15:16   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan PV_Cep)
12:15:16   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:15:17 Pointing updates are enabled
12:15:17 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:15:17   Start slew to PV_Cep...
12:15:18   (wait for slew to complete)

12:15:53   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:15:53   Focus change of -320 steps required
12:15:57   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:15:57   (using Fast readout mode)
12:15:57   (starting exposure)
12:16:23   (exposure complete)
12:16:26   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:16:27   Image finished
12:16:27   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:16:28   692 image stars found
12:16:28   384 catalog stars found
12:16:29   Solved! 162 stars matched.
12:16:29   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
12:16:29   Pointing error is 0.802 arcmin @ angle 155.51
12:16:29   True focal length is 3465.1 mm.
12:16:29   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:16:29   [sync] pointing model updated
12:16:29   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:16:29   Target is now centered.
