11:16:52 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
11:16:52 Custom image file path/names are in use

11:16:52 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
11:16:53 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
11:16:53 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
11:16:53 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
11:16:53 Dome is MaxDome
11:16:53 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
11:16:53 Imager is ASCOM
11:16:53 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
11:16:53 Selecting filter SR from previous ACP run at 20240217@111553 UTC
11:16:53 Imager readout modes:
11:16:53   0 is Fast
11:16:53   1 is Normal
11:16:53 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
11:16:53 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
11:16:53 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
11:16:53 Guider is set to multi-star mode
11:16:53 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
11:16:53 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
11:16:53 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
11:16:53 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
11:16:53 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
11:16:53 ==== Starting target CG_Dra ====
11:16:53 ACPS Observation CG_Dra(1 of 1)
11:16:53   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P211_BENS_AUTO_ver2706, Plan CG_Dra)
11:16:53   (turning on sidereal tracking)
11:16:53 Pointing updates are enabled
11:16:53 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0

11:18:50   Plate-solve pointing image.
11:18:51   798 image stars found
11:18:51   310 catalog stars found
11:18:52   Solved! 112 stars matched.
11:18:52   Average residual is 0.35 arcsec.
11:18:52   Pointing error is 1.898 arcmin @ angle 101.37
11:18:52   True focal length is 3466.5 mm.
11:18:52   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
11:18:52   True image center (J2000): 19h 07m 45.1s   52° 58' 06.01"

11:18:52   [sync] pointing model updated
11:18:52   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
11:18:52   Target is now centered.
