04:21:51 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
04:21:51 Custom image file path/names are in use

04:21:51 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
04:21:52 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
04:21:52 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
04:21:52 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
04:21:52 Dome is MaxDome
04:21:52 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
04:21:52 Imager is ASCOM
04:21:52 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
04:21:52 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@041957 UTC
04:21:52 Imager readout modes:
04:21:52   0 is Fast
04:21:52   1 is Normal
04:21:52 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
04:21:52 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
04:21:52 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
04:21:52 Guider is set to multi-star mode
04:21:52 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
04:21:52 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
04:21:52 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
04:21:52 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
04:21:52 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
04:21:52 ==== Starting target FS_Aur ====
04:21:52 ACPS Observation FS_Aur(1 of 1)
04:21:52   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan FS_Aur)
04:21:52   (turning on sidereal tracking)
04:21:52 Pointing updates are enabled
04:21:52 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
04:21:52   Start slew to FS_Aur...
04:21:54   (wait for slew to complete)
04:22:04   (slew complete)
04:22:04   (skipping pointing update, last target close enough)

04:22:04   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
04:22:04   Switching from B to V filter for imaging
04:22:04   Focus change of -30 steps required
04:22:06   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
04:22:16   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=1314.922 Y=792.9797

04:26:33   181 catalog stars found
04:26:34   Solved! 111 stars matched.
04:26:34   Average residual is 0.16 arcsec.
04:26:34   Pointing error is 0.986 arcmin @ angle 119.16
04:26:34   (pointing corrector updated with this observation)
04:26:34   True focal length is 3471.5 mm.
04:26:34   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.45 V = 0.45
04:26:34   True image center (J2000): 05h 47m 52.2s   28° 34' 43.17"
04:26:34   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
04:26:34   Image FWHM is 2.5 arcsec (5.55 pixels)
