07:11:14 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:11:14 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:11:14   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:11:14 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:11:15 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:11:15 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:11:15 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:11:15 Dome is MaxDome
07:11:15 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:11:15 Imager is ASCOM
07:11:15 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:11:15 Selecting filter V from previous ACP run at 20240219@070736 UTC
07:11:15 Imager readout modes:
07:11:15   0 is Fast
07:11:15   1 is Normal
07:11:15 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:11:15 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:11:15 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:11:15 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:11:15 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:11:15 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:11:15 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:11:15 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:11:15 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:11:15 ==== Starting target NSV-6690 ====
07:11:15 ACPS Observation NSV-6690(1 of 1)
07:11:15   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P255_BPEC_AUTO_ver2890, Plan NSV-6690)
07:11:15   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:11:15 Pointing updates are enabled
07:11:15 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:11:15   Start slew to NSV-6690...
07:11:17   (wait for slew to complete)
07:12:32   (slew complete)

07:12:32   Switching from V to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:12:32   Focus change of -290 steps required
07:12:36   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:12:36   (using Fast readout mode)
07:12:36   (starting exposure)
07:13:01   (exposure complete)
07:13:03   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:13:04   Image finished
07:13:04   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:13:05   192 image stars found
07:13:05   113 catalog stars found
07:13:06   Solved! 32 stars matched.
07:13:06   Average residual is 0.42 arcsec.
07:13:06   Pointing error is 1.513 arcmin @ angle 104.77
07:13:06   True focal length is 3462.7 mm.
07:13:06   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89

07:13:06   Imager sky position angle is 179.0 deg.
07:13:06   [sync] pointing model updated
07:13:06   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
07:13:06   Target is now centered.
