Licensed to Arne Henden
10:58:34 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
10:58:34 Custom image file path/names are in use
10:58:34   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
10:58:34 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
10:58:35 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
10:58:35 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
10:58:35 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
10:58:35 Dome is MaxDome
10:58:35 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
10:58:35 Imager is ASCOM
10:58:35 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
10:58:35 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@105330 UTC
10:58:35 Imager readout modes:
10:58:35   0 is Fast
10:58:35   1 is Normal
10:58:35 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
10:58:35 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
10:58:35 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
10:58:35 Guider is set to multi-star mode
10:58:35 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
10:58:35 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
10:58:35 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
10:58:35 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
10:58:35 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
10:58:35 ==== Starting target NGC_5897 ====
10:58:35 ACPS Observation NGC_5897(1 of 1)
10:58:35   (belongs to Project AAVSO_Pgc_Welch_AUTO_ver2411, Plan NGC_5897)
10:58:35   (turning on sidereal tracking)
10:58:35 Pointing updates are enabled
10:58:35 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
10:58:35   Start slew to NGC_5897...
10:58:37   (wait for slew to complete)

10:59:22   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
10:59:22   Focus change of -290 steps required
10:59:26   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
10:59:26   (using Fast readout mode)
10:59:26   (starting exposure)
10:59:50   (exposure complete)

10:59:53   Image finished
10:59:54   Plate-solve pointing image.
10:59:55   646 image stars found
10:59:55   178 catalog stars found
10:59:56   Solved! 39 stars matched.
10:59:56   Average residual is 0.31 arcsec.
10:59:56   Pointing error is 0.555 arcmin @ angle 329.54
10:59:56   True focal length is 3468.3 mm.
10:59:56   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

10:59:56   [sync] pointing model updated
10:59:56   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
10:59:56   Target is now centered.
