10:19:20 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:19:20 Custom image file path/names are in use

10:19:20 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:19:21 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:19:21 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:19:21 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:19:21 Dome is MaxDome
10:19:21 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:19:21 Imager is ASCOM
10:19:21 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:19:21 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240215@100002 UTC
10:19:21 Imager readout modes:
10:19:21   0 is Fast
10:19:21   1 is Normal
10:19:21 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:19:21 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:19:21 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:19:21 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:19:21 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:19:21 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:19:21 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:19:21 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:19:21 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:19:21 ==== Starting target X_Ser ====
10:19:21 ACPS Observation X_Ser(1 of 1)
10:19:21   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_MRV_AUTO_ver3136, Plan X_Ser)
10:19:21   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:19:21 Pointing updates are enabled
10:19:21 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:19:21   Start slew to X_Ser...
10:19:23   (wait for slew to complete)
10:20:33   (slew complete)
10:20:33     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=-12424s GW=T HAz=-11823s DWz=T WF=no]
10:20:33   Updating pointing...
10:20:33   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:20:33   (using Fast readout mode)
10:20:33   (starting exposure)
10:20:48   (exposure complete)
10:20:51   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:20:52   Image finished
10:20:52   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:20:52   218 image stars found
10:20:52   193 catalog stars found
10:20:54   Solved! 63 stars matched.
10:20:54   Average residual is 0.33 arcsec.
10:20:54   Pointing error is 1.705 arcmin @ angle 272.98
10:20:54   True focal length is 3466.4 mm.
10:20:54   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:20:54   True image center (J2000): 16h 19m 10.9s   -02° 29' 24.27"
10:20:54   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
10:20:54   [sync] pointing model updated
10:20:54   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:20:54   Target is now centered.
10:20:54   (high cadence option, no web previews)
10:20:54   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
