05:45:10 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:45:10 Custom image file path/names are in use

05:45:10 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:45:11 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:45:11 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:45:11 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:45:11 Dome is MaxDome
05:45:11 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:45:11 Imager is ASCOM
05:45:11 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:45:11 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240215@054434 UTC
05:45:11 Imager readout modes:
05:45:11   0 is Fast
05:45:11   1 is Normal
05:45:11 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:45:11 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:45:11 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:45:11 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:45:11 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:45:11 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:45:11 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:45:11 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:45:11 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:45:11 ==== Starting target SU_Lyn ====
05:45:11 ACPS Observation SU_Lyn(1 of 1)
05:45:11   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HQA_AUTO_ver3479, Plan SU_Lyn)
05:45:11   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:45:11 Pointing updates are enabled
05:45:11 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:45:11   Start slew to SU_Lyn...
05:45:13   (wait for slew to complete)

05:46:37   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:46:37   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:46:41   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:46:41   (using Fast readout mode)
05:46:41   (starting exposure)
05:47:04   (exposure complete)

05:47:08   350 catalog stars found
05:47:10   Solved! 151 stars matched.
05:47:10   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.

05:47:10   [sync] pointing model updated
05:47:10   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:47:10   Target is now centered.
