10:44:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:44:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:44:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:44:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:44:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:44:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:44:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:44:26 Dome is MaxDome
10:44:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:44:27 Imager is ASCOM
10:44:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:44:27 Selecting filter SG from previous ACP run at 20240219@104252 UTC
10:44:27 Imager readout modes:
10:44:27   0 is Fast
10:44:27   1 is Normal
10:44:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:44:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:44:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:44:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:44:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:44:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:44:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:44:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:44:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:44:27 ==== Starting target IX_Dra ====
10:44:27 ACPS Observation IX_Dra(1 of 1)
10:44:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P153_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan IX_Dra)
10:44:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:44:27 Pointing updates are enabled
10:44:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:44:27   Start slew to IX_Dra...
10:44:28   (wait for slew to complete)
10:44:53   (slew complete)

10:44:53   Updating pointing...
10:44:53   Switching from SG to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:44:53   Focus change of -50 steps required
10:44:56   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:44:56   (using Fast readout mode)
10:44:56   (starting exposure)
10:45:17   (exposure complete)
10:45:20   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
10:45:21   Image finished
10:45:21   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:45:22   397 image stars found
10:45:22   307 catalog stars found
10:45:24   Solved! 107 stars matched.
10:45:24   Average residual is 0.29 arcsec.
10:45:24   Pointing error is 1.003 arcmin @ angle 130.34
10:45:24   True focal length is 3467.4 mm.
10:45:24   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
10:45:24   True image center (J2000): 18h 12m 39.3s   67° 04' 06.82"
10:45:24   Imager sky position angle is 179.3 deg.
10:45:24   [sync] pointing model updated
10:45:24   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:45:24   Target is now centered.
10:45:24   (high cadence option, no web previews)
