12:16:33 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:16:33 Custom image file path/names are in use
12:16:33   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
12:16:33 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:16:34 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:16:34 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:16:34 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:16:34 Dome is MaxDome
12:16:34 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:16:34 Imager is ASCOM
12:16:34 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:16:34 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240217@121404 UTC
12:16:34 Imager readout modes:
12:16:34   0 is Fast
12:16:34   1 is Normal
12:16:34 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:16:34 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:16:34 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:16:34 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:16:34 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:16:34 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:16:34 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:16:34 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:16:34 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:16:34 ==== Starting target KU_Cyg ====
12:16:34 ACPS Observation KU_Cyg(1 of 1)
12:16:34   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan KU_Cyg)
12:16:34   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:16:34 Pointing updates are enabled
12:16:34 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:16:34   Start slew to KU_Cyg...
12:16:36   (wait for slew to complete)
12:16:55   (slew complete)

12:16:55   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:16:55   Focus change of -320 steps required
12:16:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:16:59   (using Fast readout mode)
12:16:59   (starting exposure)
12:17:25   (exposure complete)
12:17:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:17:28   Image finished
12:17:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:17:29   1201 image stars found
12:17:29   407 catalog stars found
12:17:30   Solved! 136 stars matched.
12:17:30   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
12:17:30   Pointing error is 1.618 arcmin @ angle 101.87
12:17:30   True focal length is 3463.6 mm.
12:17:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

12:17:30   Imager sky position angle is 179.1 deg.
12:17:30   [sync] pointing model updated
12:17:30   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:17:30   Target is now centered.
