02:10:25 This is AcquireScheduler V9.0.3
02:10:25 Custom image file path/names are in use
02:10:25   [PreFlip=300 PostFlip=300 AF=180 PU=60]
02:10:25 Hardware GEM pier side reporting is available.
02:10:26 Initializing AcquireSupport V9.0.3
02:10:26 Weather safe, server is Boltwood Cloud Sensor II
02:10:26 Telescope is ACP->TM61, driver V3
02:10:26 Dome is MaxDome
02:10:27 MaxIm DL is version 6.28
02:10:27 Imager is ASCOM
02:10:27 Using focus offsets and star mags from FilterInfo.txt
02:10:27 Selecting filter B from previous ACP run at 20240219@020920 UTC
02:10:27 Imager readout modes:
02:10:27   0 is Fast
02:10:27   1 is Normal
02:10:27 Guider is SX Universal (no rotator)
02:10:27 Guider plate scale is 0.2 arcsec/pix. Guided dither with main imager pixels
02:10:27 Max unguided exposure 60 sec.
02:10:27 Guider is set to multi-star mode
02:10:27 (assuring that FocusMax is running now...)
02:10:27 Calculated unbinned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.23 V = 0.23
02:10:27 Calculated field of view (arcmin): H = 36.3 V = 24.3
02:10:27 Plate solving with GSC 1.1 (ok for wider fields)
02:10:27 Mount supports tracking rate offsets
02:10:27 ==== Starting target V838_Mon ====
02:10:27 ACPS Observation V838_Mon(1 of 1)
02:10:27   (belongs to Project AAVSO_P237_CWT_AUTO_ver3515, Plan V838_Mon)
02:10:27   (turning on sidereal tracking)
02:10:27 Pointing updates are enabled
02:10:27 Catalog Maximum Mag = 18.0
02:10:27   Start slew to V838_Mon...
02:10:29   (wait for slew to complete)
02:11:13   (slew complete)

02:11:13   Updating pointing...
02:11:13   Switching from B to SR filter for pointing exposure
02:11:13   Focus change of -320 steps required
02:11:17   (taking 10 sec. exposure, SR filter, binning = 4)
02:11:17   (using Fast readout mode)
02:11:17   (starting exposure)
02:11:43   (exposure complete)
02:11:45   (exposure complete and image downloaded)
02:11:46   Image finished
02:11:46   Plate-solve pointing image.
02:11:47   1393 image stars found
02:11:47   483 catalog stars found
02:11:48   Solved! 158 stars matched.
02:11:48   Average residual is 0.24 arcsec.
02:11:48   Pointing error is 1.474 arcmin @ angle 66.99
02:11:48   True focal length is 3467.9 mm.
02:11:48   True binned plate scales (arcsec/pix): H = 0.89 V = 0.89
02:11:48   True image center (J2000): 07h 04m 10.3s   -03° 50' 16.04"
02:11:48   Imager sky position angle is 178.7 deg.
02:11:48   [sync] pointing model updated
02:11:48   Within max error tolerance, no re-slew needed.
02:11:48   Target is now centered.
02:11:48   (high cadence option, no web previews)
