12:12:38 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
12:12:38 Custom image file path/names are in use

12:12:38 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
12:12:40 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
12:12:40 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
12:12:40 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
12:12:40 Dome is MaxDome
12:12:40 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
12:12:40 Imager is ASCOM
12:12:40 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
12:12:40 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@121205 UTC
12:12:40 Imager readout modes:
12:12:40   0 is Fast
12:12:40   1 is Normal
12:12:40 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
12:12:40 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
12:12:40 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
12:12:40 Guider is set to multi-star mode
12:12:40 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
12:12:40 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
12:12:40 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
12:12:40 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
12:12:40 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
12:12:40 ==== Starting target M56_V6 ====
12:12:40 ACPS Observation M56_V6(1 of 1)
12:12:40   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_HJZ_AUTO_ver2706, Plan M56_V6)
12:12:40   (turning on sidereal tracking)
12:12:40 Pointing updates are enabled
12:12:40 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
12:12:40   Start slew to M56_V6...
12:12:42   (wait for slew to complete)
12:13:26   (slew complete)
12:13:26     [flip check:  Tn=660s HAc=-15776s GW=T HAz=-15116s DWz=T WF=no]
12:13:26   Updating pointing...
12:13:26   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
12:13:26   Focus change of -290 steps required
12:13:30   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
12:13:30   (using Fast readout mode)
12:13:30   (starting exposure)
12:13:55   (exposure complete)
12:13:57   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
12:13:58   Image finished
12:13:58   Plate-solve pointing image.
12:13:59   1922 image stars found
12:13:59   357 catalog stars found
12:14:00   Solved! 114 stars matched.
12:14:00   Average residual is 0.26 arcsec.
12:14:00   Pointing error is 1.690 arcmin @ angle 91.96
12:14:00   True focal length is 3466.2 mm.
12:14:00   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
12:14:00   True image center (J2000): 19h 16m 43.3s   30° 11' 00.71"
12:14:00   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
12:14:00   [sync] pointing model updated
12:14:00   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
12:14:00   Target is now centered.
12:14:00   (high cadence option, no web previews)
12:14:00   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
