05:30:30 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
05:30:30 Custom image file path/names are in use
05:30:30   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
05:30:30 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
05:30:31 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
05:30:31 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
05:30:31 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
05:30:31 Dome is MaxDome
05:30:32 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
05:30:32 Imager is ASCOM
05:30:32 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
05:30:32 Selecting filter R from previous ACP run at 20240219@052956 UTC
05:30:32 Imager readout modes:
05:30:32   0 is Fast
05:30:32   1 is Normal
05:30:32 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
05:30:32 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
05:30:32 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
05:30:32 Guider is set to multi-star mode
05:30:32 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
05:30:32 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
05:30:32 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
05:30:32 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
05:30:32 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
05:30:32 ==== Starting target J072816 ====
05:30:32 ACPS Observation J072816(1 of 1)
05:30:32   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_WLP_AUTO_ver3464, Plan J072816)
05:30:32   (turning on sidereal tracking)
05:30:32 Pointing updates are enabled
05:30:32 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
05:30:32   Start slew to J072816...
05:30:33   (wait for slew to complete)
05:31:49   (slew complete)

05:31:49   Updating pointing...
05:31:49   Switching from R to SR filter for pointing exposure
05:31:49   Focus change of -270 steps required
05:31:53   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
05:31:53   (using Fast readout mode)
05:31:53   (starting exposure)
05:32:16   (exposure complete)
05:32:19   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
05:32:20   Image finished
05:32:20   Plate-solve pointing image.
05:32:20   390 image stars found
05:32:20   313 catalog stars found
05:32:22   Solved! 122 stars matched.
05:32:22   Average residual is 0.32 arcsec.
05:32:22   Pointing error is 1.476 arcmin @ angle 118.39
05:32:22   True focal length is 3468.7 mm.
05:32:22   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
05:32:22   True image center (J2000): 07h 28m 38.7s   75° 15' 33.05"
05:32:22   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
05:32:22   [sync] pointing model updated
05:32:22   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
05:32:22   Target is now centered.
05:32:22   (high cadence option, no web previews)
05:32:22   (long exposure, trying to autoguide)
05:32:22   Switching from SR to SI filter for imaging
05:32:22   Focus change of -20 steps required
