03:06:56 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:06:56 Custom image file path/names are in use

03:06:56 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:06:57 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:06:57 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:06:57 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:06:57 Dome is MaxDome
03:06:57 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:06:57 Imager is ASCOM
03:06:57 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:06:57 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240216@030624 UTC
03:06:57 Imager readout modes:
03:06:57   0 is Fast
03:06:57   1 is Normal
03:06:57 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:06:57 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:06:57 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:06:57 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:06:57 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:06:57 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:06:57 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:06:57 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:06:57 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:06:57 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
03:06:57 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
03:06:57   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SBL_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
03:06:57   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:06:58 Pointing updates are enabled
03:06:58 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:06:58   Start slew to MP_Gem...
03:06:59   (wait for slew to complete)
03:08:09   (slew complete)

03:08:09   Updating pointing...
03:08:09   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:08:09   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:08:12   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:08:12   (using Fast readout mode)
03:08:12   (starting exposure)
03:08:37   (exposure complete)
03:08:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:08:41   Image finished
03:08:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:08:41   807 image stars found
03:08:42   315 catalog stars found
03:08:43   Solved! 100 stars matched.
03:08:43   Average residual is 0.25 arcsec.
03:08:43   Pointing error is 1.915 arcmin @ angle 77.35
03:08:43   True focal length is 3464.9 mm.
03:08:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
03:08:43   True image center (J2000): 06h 48m 41.3s   19° 37' 39.44"
03:08:43   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
03:08:43   [sync] pointing model updated
03:08:43   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
03:08:43   Target is now centered.
