Licensed to Arne Henden
03:49:47 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
03:49:47 Custom image file path/names are in use
03:49:47   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
03:49:47 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
03:49:48 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
03:49:48 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
03:49:48 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
03:49:48 Dome is MaxDome
03:49:48 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
03:49:48 Imager is ASCOM
03:49:48 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
03:49:48 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240217@034924 UTC
03:49:49 Imager readout modes:
03:49:49   0 is Fast
03:49:49   1 is Normal
03:49:49 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
03:49:49 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
03:49:49 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
03:49:49 Guider is set to multi-star mode
03:49:49 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
03:49:49 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
03:49:49 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
03:49:49 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
03:49:49 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
03:49:49 ==== Starting target MP_Gem ====
03:49:49 ACPS Observation MP_Gem(1 of 1)
03:49:49   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan MP_Gem)
03:49:49   (turning on sidereal tracking)
03:49:49 Pointing updates are enabled
03:49:49 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
03:49:49   Start slew to MP_Gem...
03:49:50   (wait for slew to complete)

03:51:00   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
03:51:00   Focus change of -290 steps required
03:51:04   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
03:51:04   (using Fast readout mode)
03:51:04   (starting exposure)
03:51:29   (exposure complete)
03:51:32   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
03:51:33   Image finished
03:51:33   Plate-solve pointing image.
03:51:34   1493 image stars found
03:51:34   315 catalog stars found
03:51:35   Solved! 151 stars matched.
03:51:35   Average residual is 0.22 arcsec.
03:51:35   Pointing error is 3.031 arcmin @ angle 273.00
03:51:35   True focal length is 3468.8 mm.
03:51:35   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

03:51:35   [sync] pointing model updated
03:51:35   Re-slew to target.
03:51:35   Start slew to MP_Gem...
03:51:39   (wait for slew to complete)
03:51:49   (slew complete)
03:51:49   Target is now centered.
03:51:49   (high cadence option, no web previews)
03:51:49   (aggregated exposure times, trying to autoguide)
03:51:49   Switching from SR to SU filter for imaging
03:51:49   No focus change required
03:51:49   (take guider image at initial interval 5 sec)
03:51:59   Multi-star guiding, MaxIm chose star at X=708.6235 Y=457.1201
