02:43:58 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:43:58 Custom image file path/names are in use

02:43:58 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:43:59 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:43:59 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:43:59 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:43:59 Dome is MaxDome
02:43:59 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:43:59 Imager is ASCOM
02:43:59 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:43:59 Selecting filter SU from previous ACP run at 20240217@023915 UTC
02:43:59 Imager readout modes:
02:43:59   0 is Fast
02:43:59   1 is Normal
02:43:59 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:43:59 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:43:59 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:43:59 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:43:59 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:43:59 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:43:59 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:43:59 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:43:59 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:43:59 ==== Starting target TT_Ari ====
02:43:59 ACPS Observation TT_Ari(1 of 1)
02:43:59   (belongs to Project AAVSO_survey_HQ_AUTO_ver3479, Plan TT_Ari)
02:43:59   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:43:59 Pointing updates are enabled
02:43:59 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:43:59   Start slew to TT_Ari...
02:44:01   (wait for slew to complete)
02:45:16   (slew complete)

02:45:16   Updating pointing...
02:45:16   Switching from SU to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:45:16   No focus change required
02:45:16   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:45:16   (using Fast readout mode)
02:45:16   (starting exposure)
02:45:37   (exposure complete)
02:45:40   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:45:41   Image finished
02:45:41   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:45:42   194 image stars found
02:45:42   133 catalog stars found
02:45:43   Solved! 33 stars matched.
02:45:43   Average residual is 0.28 arcsec.
02:45:43   Pointing error is 0.992 arcmin @ angle 62.75
02:45:43   True focal length is 3466.1 mm.
02:45:43   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:45:43   True image center (J2000): 02h 06m 56.8s   15° 18' 09.26"
02:45:43   Imager sky position angle is 178.8 deg.
02:45:43   [sync] pointing model updated
02:45:43   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:45:43   Target is now centered.
02:45:43   (high cadence option, no web previews)
