07:38:31 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
07:38:31 Custom image file path/names are in use
07:38:31   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
07:38:31 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
07:38:33 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
07:38:33 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
07:38:33 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
07:38:33 Dome is MaxDome
07:38:33 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
07:38:33 Imager is ASCOM
07:38:33 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
07:38:33 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@073343 UTC
07:38:33 Imager readout modes:
07:38:33   0 is Fast
07:38:33   1 is Normal
07:38:33 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
07:38:33 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
07:38:33 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
07:38:33 Guider is set to multi-star mode
07:38:33 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
07:38:33 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
07:38:33 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
07:38:33 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
07:38:33 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
07:38:33 ==== Starting target U_Leo ====
07:38:33 ACPS Observation U_Leo(1 of 1)
07:38:33   (belongs to Project AAVSO_MISC_SFY_AUTO_ver2706, Plan U_Leo)
07:38:33   (turning on sidereal tracking)
07:38:33 Pointing updates are enabled
07:38:33 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
07:38:33   Start slew to U_Leo...
07:38:35   (wait for slew to complete)
07:39:54   (slew complete)
07:39:54     [flip check:  Tn=600s HAc=168s GW=T HAz=768s DWz=T WF=no]
07:39:54   Updating pointing...
07:39:54   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
07:39:54   Focus change of -320 steps required
07:39:59   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
07:39:59   (using Fast readout mode)
07:39:59   (starting exposure)
07:40:25   (exposure complete)
07:40:27   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
07:40:28   Image finished
07:40:28   Plate-solve pointing image.
07:40:29   259 image stars found
07:40:29   150 catalog stars found
07:40:30   Solved! 52 stars matched.
07:40:30   Average residual is 0.27 arcsec.
07:40:30   Pointing error is 5.267 arcmin @ angle 85.65
07:40:30   True focal length is 3472.4 mm.
07:40:30   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
07:40:30   True image center (J2000): 10h 24m 25.5s   14° 00' 49.89"

07:40:30   [sync] pointing model updated
07:40:30   Re-slew to target.
07:40:30   Start slew to U_Leo...
